In the spirit of open-source software, you can contribute as
little or as much as you like: bug reports, patches, full
components or documentation are all equally appreciated. The
following section describes contributing to Zend Framework.
So, You Want to File A Bug Report ...
So, you've found what you think might be a bug. Before you file
it, we'd ask that you ensure that what you have is indeed a
bug, by doing a little due-diligence (which also is good
information to add to the bug report):
see if your use case is covered in the documentation;
You don't have to do all of those, but by doing a few of them,
it helps ensure that your bug report is complete and will get tended to.
When you're finally ready:
So, You Want to Contribute Code ...
By and large, this framework is built and maintained by the
community. This means that process for submitting something
back, be it a patch, some documentation, or new feature
requires some level of community interaction.
We proudly host our code on GitHub.
If you're not already familar with git or GitHub, take a moment
to read through our CONTRIBUTING.md.
The steps to create a patch are:
fork the zend-name project (where name is the component you are interested);
create a local development branch for the bugfix;
commit a change and push your local branch to your github fork;
send us a pull request for your changes to be included.
So, You Want to Hang-out With A Great Community ...
