Org Mode
The text below explains the rules for participating in Org mode
|
|
development.
|
|
|
|
* Org maintenance
|
|
|
|
Org maintenance is detailed on Worg: see [[https://orgmode.org/worg/org-maintenance.html][org-maintenance]].
|
|
|
|
* Main contribution rules
|
|
|
|
1. The master git repository is hosted publicly on [[https://savannah.gnu.org][savannah.gnu.org]].
|
|
|
|
: git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/emacs/org-mode.git
|
|
|
|
This is sufficient to start hacking and to produce patches that can
|
|
easily and consistently be applied to the main repository.
|
|
|
|
2. People who want to participate to the Org mode development can send
|
|
patches to this address:
|
|
|
|
: emacs-orgmode@gnu.org
|
|
|
|
3. If you are a regular contributor, you can request push access to
|
|
the repository by creating an account on [[https://savannah.gnu.org/account/register.php][savannah.gnu.org]] and by
|
|
[[https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=emacs][joining the Emacs group]].
|
|
|
|
After you have been added as a user with push privileges, you can
|
|
clone the repository like this:
|
|
|
|
: git clone USERNAME@git.savannah.gnu.org:/srv/git/emacs/org-mode.git
|
|
|
|
Replace =USERNAME= with your Savannah username.
|
|
|
|
4. By requesting push access, you acknowledge that you have read and
|
|
agreed with the following rules:
|
|
|
|
- Org mode is part of GNU Emacs. Therefore, we need to be very
|
|
conscious about changes moving into the Org mode core. These can
|
|
originate only from people who have signed the appropriate papers
|
|
with the Free Software Foundation. The files to which this
|
|
applies are:
|
|
|
|
- all *.el files in the lisp directory of the repository
|
|
- orgcard.tex and all *.org files in the doc/ directory
|
|
|
|
- Before making any significant changes, please explain and discuss
|
|
them on the mailing list [[mailto:emacs-orgmode@gnu.org][emacs-orgmode@gnu.org]].
|
|
|
|
This does obviously not apply to people who are maintaining their
|
|
own contributions to Org mode. Please just use the new mechanism
|
|
to make sure all changes end up in the right place.
|
|
|
|
We value a nice tone in our discussions: please check and respect
|
|
the [[https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/kind-communication.en.html][GNU Kind Communications Guidelines]].
|
|
|
|
- Org mode no longer uses ChangeLog entries to document changes.
|
|
Instead, special commit messages are used. The commit message
|
|
format generally follows Emacs conventions, as described in the
|
|
`CONTRIBUTE' file in the main Emacs repository. Several more
|
|
Org-specific conventions are described in
|
|
[[https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html#commit-messages][worg/org-contribute#commit-messages]].
|
|
|
|
- Among other things, Org mode is widely appreciated because of its
|
|
simplicity, cleanness and consistency. We should try to preserve
|
|
them and ask everyone to keep this in mind when posting changes.
|
|
|
|
See [[https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html][worg/org-contribute]] for guidance on how to contribute effectively.
