| .. _chapter-contributing: |
| We welcome contributions to Ceres, whether they are new features, bug |
| fixes or tests. The Ceres mailing list [#f1]_ is the best place for |
| all development related discussions. Please consider joining it. If |
| you have ideas on how you would like to contribute to Ceres, it is a |
| good idea to let us know on the mailinglist before you start |
| development. We may have suggestions that will save effort when trying |
| to merge your work into the main branch. If you are looking for ideas, |
| please let us know about your interest and skills and we will be happy |
| to make a suggestion or three. |
| We follow Google's C++ Style Guide [#f2]_ and use ``git`` for version |
