There are dozens of ways to contribute to Weblate. We welcome any help, be it coding help, graphics design, documentation or sponsorship.

Code and development

Weblate is being developed on GitHub <https://github.com/WeblateOrg/weblate>. You are welcome to fork the code and open pull requests. Patches in any other form are welcome as well.

Coding standard

The code should follow PEP-8 coding guidelines.

It is good idea to check your contributions using pep8, pylint and pyflages. You can execute all checks by script ci/run-lint.

Testsuite

We do write testsuite for our code, so please add testcases for any new functionality and verify that it works. You can see current test results on Travis <https://travis-ci.org/WeblateOrg/weblate> and coverage on Codecov <https://codecov.io/github/WeblateOrg/weblate>.

To run testsuite locally use:
