- Tell your friends that Kanboard is awesome :)
Before doing any large undertaking, open a new issue and explain your proposal.

Kanboard is translated in many languages. However, translations are not complete, take look at the translation guide to contribute.
- You think something is not clear, there is grammatical errors, typo errors, anything.
- The documentation is written in Markdown and stored in the folder
docs. - Edit the file and send a pull-request.

Pull-requests are always welcome, however to be accepted you have to follow those directives:
- Before doing any large change or design proposal, open a new ticket to start a discussion.
- If you want to add a new feature, respect the philosophy behind Kanboard. We focus on simplicity, we don't want to have a bloated software.
- The same apply for the user interface, simplicity and efficiency.
- Send only one pull-request per feature or bug fix, your patch will be merged into one single commit in the master branch.
- Make sure the unit tests pass.
- Respect the coding standards.

In any case, if you are not sure about something open a new ticket.
