CONTRIBUTING

If you intend to contribute to this project, please keep some simple rules in mind:

- one commit per feature/fix
- the short commit message shouldn't be longer than 50 characters
- the short commit message should start with an uppercase character
- use the imperative for the short commit message
- don't finish the short commit message with a '.'
- don't use github-specific syntax to close an issue (I'll do that, when
  merging into master)
- it's always a good idea to have a look at 'git log' to get an idea how to
  format one's own commits
- if you have questions about a certain patch or feature requests, just open
  a Github issue

Examples

Bad:  "fixed loop to start from 0 instead of 1"
Good: "Avoid off-by-one issue in skiplist loop"

Bad:  "fixed typo"
Good: "Docs: typo"
