Changes are synchronized periodically to GitHub. ## Pull Requests We actively welcome your pull requests. 1. Fork the repo and create your branch from `master`. 2. Write tests that describe the expected new behavior from your code changes. 3. Regenerate the classifiers, run the test suite and see your tests failing. 4.

This includes formatting and naming things in code. ### Simple philosophy: Make it 1% better The code is far from perfectly clean. When the code surrounding your changes is not consistent, go ahead and make it so. However don't clutter your changes with style clean-up; split the pull requests to make the review process easier. ### Guidelines - 80-char limit. - Imports: one block for standard modules and other packages, one block for project modules. Qualified imports at the end of each block, alphabetical ordering. ## Issues We use GitHub issues to track public bugs. Please ensure your description is clear and has sufficient instructions to be able to reproduce the issue. Facebook has a [bounty program](https://www.facebook.com/whitehat/) for the safe disclosure of security bugs. In those cases, please go through the process outlined on that page and do not file a public issue. ## Code of Conduct Facebook has adopted a Code of Conduct that we expect project participants to adhere to. Please [read the full text](https://code.facebook.com/pages/876921332402685/open-source-code-of-conduct) so that you can understand what actions will and will not be tolerated. ## License By contributing to Duckling, you agree that your contributions will be licensed under the LICENSE file in the root directory of this source tree.
