Hi all,

as the subject says: 

https://orgmode.org/contribute.html is very straightforward and
https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html is very complete.

I think we should merge both pages into worg/org-contribute.org,
the page that we recommand users to read in general.

The page would start with simple "calls to action" and progress
toward more informative sections.

It's a delicate balance to have -- but having two pages for the
same purpose isn't very good today.

Anyone?

hi, Bastien,

in the absence of any other volunteer, i'd be happy to produce a merge
for review.  (though it might take a few weeks.)

cheers, Greg

thanks a lot for volunteering, but I did the merge a few days ago.

Perhaps you can still carefully proofread
https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html and enhance it?

Thanks a lot,

We may want to put reference to Woof docs. Not all users are even able
to add headers to emails. Or we can simply recommend using word
"^Confirmed" in emails.

Also, it may be a good idea to clarify what maintainer duties are.

Yes - this needs to be better documented.  I'm currently working on
the next version of Woof!, it will comes with many enhancements, I'll
reference to the new documentation when I make the switch.

I added a few lines, I hope it answers some of the main questions.

Thanks!

I second the mention of something like "Confirmed" instead of email
headers. I recently started reading Org mode list, reproducing bug
reports, and using email headers is something I haven't managed to do yet
(pending as I'm yet to set up some email client). Reading Woof!
documentation made it clear about other ways than email headers though.

I added this section, with a small introduction to the current way of 
tracking bugs and patches:

https://orgmode.org/worg/org-maintenance.html#orgc84c8f5

If you want to improve it (shorter is better), please go ahead!

Bastien,

great!

> Perhaps you can still carefully proofread
> https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html and enhance it?

sure.  some comments and a patch (and, without the nice css, the .html
file it generates, just for ease of reviewing).

i was thinking of (more or less) sorting the "ways to contribute" in
terms of difficulty/level of expertise required.  the below patch tries
to do this (ysomv -- your sort order may vary).

other than that, i did a bit of editing, added a few links and
footnotes, etc.

nit: i don't know how widespread this is, or whether it matters when someone
is looking on worg about how to contribute, but my setup (arch linux,
qutebrowser) doesn't include
: "C-x 8 RET 1f984" or "C-x 8 RET UNICORN FACE"

hope it's of use.

cheers, Greg

are willing to help, there is plenty of low-hanging fruit for you, and
the community will welcome your contribution.

the section of the manual on how to provide useful <a href="https://orgmode.org/org.html#Feedback">feedback</a> or this
other great text: <a href="http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html">How to Send Bug Reports Effectively</a>.</li>

<li><b>Try to reproduce bugs</b>: That's always very helpful.  Do subscribe to
<a href="https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode">Org's mailing list</a> and monitor new unreferenced bugs.  Try to
reproduce them.  If you can reproduce a bug, reply to the original
poster and add <a href="https://github.com/bzg/woof"><code>X-Woof-Bug: confirmed</code></a> to your mail headers, and the
bug will then be shown on <a href="https://updates.orgmode.org/#bugs">updates.orgmode.org</a>.</li>

<p>
You don't need write access to the repository to contribute with
patches, just send them to <a href="org-mailing-list.html">the mailing list</a>.  Here is a checklist to
go through before submitting a patch:
</p>

<ol class="org-ol">
<li>Make your patch against the latest <code>bugfix</code> or <code>main</code> branch</li>
<li>Run <code>~$ make test</code> to catch broken tests</li>
<li>Check compilation warnings with <code>~$ make compile</code></li>
<li>If relevant, include or update tests</li>
<li>If your patch is adding a feature, please update <code>etc/ORG-NEWS</code></li>
<li>If relevant, don't forget to update <code>doc/org-manual.org</code></li>
<li>Take extra care of the commit message (see <a href="#commit-messages">Commit messages and ChangeLog entries</a>)</li>
<li>If your change is small enough and you didn't sign the FSF
copyright assignment,<sup><a id="fnr.2" class="footref" href="#fn.2" role="doc-backlink">2</a></sup>
include <code>TINYCHANGE</code> at the bottom of the commit message.</li>

<p>
Please use Git to make patches and send them via email &#x2013; this is
perfectly fine for both major and minor changes.
</p>

<p>
When sending a patch (using <code>git diff</code>, <code>git format-patch</code> or <code>git
send-email</code>, <b>always add a properly formatted Emacs ChangeLog entry</b> in
the commit message.  See <a href="#commit-messages">this section</a> for details on how to create
such a ChangeLog.

<div id="outline-container-orgb8a6ece" class="outline-3">
<h3 id="orgb8a6ece">Sending commits</h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-orgb8a6ece">
<p>
For every patch you send, we suggest to use <code>git format-patch</code> or <code>git
send-email</code>.  Here is a suggested workflow:
</p>

<blockquote>
<pre class="example">
~$ git pull                 # make sure your repo is up to date
~$ git branch my-changes    # create a new branch from main
~$ git checkout my-changes  # switch to this new branch
</pre>


<p>
&#x2026; make some changes (1) &#x2026;
</p>

<pre class="example">
~$ git commit -a -m "This is change (1)"  # Commit your change
</pre>


<p>
&#x2026; make another change (2) &#x2026;
</p>

<pre class="example">
~$ git commit -a -m "This is change (2)"  # Commit your change
~$ git format-patch main                 # Creates two patches
</pre>


<p>
Then two patches for your two commits are ready to be sent to the list.
</p>
</blockquote>

<p>
To finally send the patches, you can either add them as attachments to
your email or use <a href="https://git-scm.com/docs/git-send-email">git send-email</a>, if it's properly configured.
</p>

<p>
Write useful commit messages: please provide (1) a reason for it in
your email and (2) a ChangeLog entry in the commit message (again, see
<a href="#commit-messages">this section</a> on how to format a ChangeLog entry.)
</p>
</div>
</div>

<h3 id="org9834694">Sending quick fixes for testing purpose</h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-org9834694">
<p>
If you want to send a quick fix that needs to be further tested by
other people (before you submit a real patch), here is what you can
do:
</p>

<blockquote>
<p>
This command will make a patch between the staging area (in your
computer), and the file you modified:
</p>

<pre class="example">
git diff -p org-whatever.el &gt; org-whatever.el.diff
</pre>


<p>
If you already committed your changes to your index (staging area), then
you should compare against a particular branch (in this example,
<code>origin/main</code>):
</p>

<pre class="example">
git diff -p origin/main org-whatever.el &gt; org-whatever.el.diff
</pre>


<p>
You email the output to the mailing list, adding <code>[PATCH]</code> to the
subject, and description of what you fixed or changed.
</p>
</blockquote>

<p>
Note that small patches sent like this still need to have a ChangeLog
entry to be applied.  If your patch looks good to you, it's always
better to send a patch through <code>git format-patch</code>.
</p>

<h3 id="orga49e377">Sharing changes from a public branch</h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-orga49e377">
<p>
When discussing important changes, it is sometimes not so useful to
send long and/or numerous patches.
</p>

<p>
In this case, you can maintain your changes on a public branch of a
public clone of Org and send a link to the diff between your changes
and the latest Org commit that sits in your clone.
</p>

<p>
If the discussion settles and your change is accepted, you can now
send it as (a list of) patch(es) to the latest Org version.

<h2 id="commit-messages">Commit messages and ChangeLog entries</h2>
<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-commit-messages">
<p>
A commit message should be constructed in the following way:
</p>

<ul class="org-ul">
<li><p>
Line 1 of the commit message should always be a short description of
the overall change.  Line 1 does <i>not</i> get a dot at the end and does
not start with a star.  Generally, it starts with the filename that
has been changed, followed by a colon, like this:
</p>
<pre class="example">
lisp/ol-man.el: Restore file
</pre></li>

<li>Line 2 is an empty line.</li>

<li><p>
Line 3 starts the ChangeLog entry.  It looks like <a href="https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/org-mode.git/commit/?id=d49957ef021e256f19092c907d127390d39ec1ed">this</a>:
</p>

<pre class="example">
* org-timer.el (org-timer-cancel-timer, org-timer-stop): Enhance
message.
(org-timer-set-timer): Use the number of minutes in the Effort
property as the default timer value. Three prefix arguments will
ignore the Effort value property.
</pre></li>

<li>After the ChangeLog entry, another empty line should come before any
additional information that the committer wishes to provide in order
to explain the patch.</li>

<li>If the change is a minor change made by a committer without
copyright assignment to the FSF, the commit message should also
contain the cookie <code>TINYCHANGE</code> after the ChangeLog entry.</li>

<li>Variables and functions names are quoted like <code>`this'</code> (a backquote
and a single quote).</li>

<li>Sentences should be separated by two spaces.</li>

<li>Sentences should start with an uppercase letter.</li>

<li>Avoid the passive form: i.e., use "change" instead of "changed".</li>
</ul>

<p>
Here is an example for such a message:
</p>

<pre class="example" id="org7d7a387">
org-capture.el: Fix the case of using a template file

* lisp/org-capture.el (org-capture-set-plist): Make sure txt is a
string before calling `string-match'.
(org-capture-templates): Fix customization type.

* doc/org.texi (Capture): Document using a file for a template.

The problem here was that a wrong keyword was given in the
customization type.  This let to a string-match against a list value.

Modified from a patch proposal by Johan Friis.

TINYCHANGE
</pre>

<p>
If you are using <a href="https://magit.vc/">magit</a> in Emacs, the ChangeLog for such entries can be
produced by pressing <code>C</code> (for <code>magit-commit-add-log</code>) on the diff chunks
of a staged file.  (If you prefer storing your ChangeLog entries in a
file, you can also use <code>C-x 4 a</code>
(<code>magit-add-change-log-entry-other-window</code>) from within magit display of
diff chunks.)
</p>

<p>
Another option to produce the entries is to use <code>C-x 4 a</code> in the changed
function or the diff listing.  This creates entries in the ChangeLog
file and you can then cut and paste these to the commit message and
remove the indentation.

All Elisp Org files are also distributed as part of GNU Emacs, they

<p>
If you consider contributing to these files, your need to grant the
right to include your works in GNU Emacs to the FSF.  For this, you
need to complete <a href="https://orgmode.org/request-assign-future.txt">this form</a>, and to send it to <a href="mailto:assign@gnu.org">assign@gnu.org</a>.

<p>
The FSF will send you the assignment contract that both you and the
FSF will sign.  Please let the Org mode maintainer know when this
process is complete.

By submitting patches to <code>emacs-orgmode@gnu.org</code> or by pushing changes
to Org's core files, you are placing these changes under the same
licensing terms as those under which GNU Emacs is published.
