## Reporting Defects ##

If you encounter problems during the course of [Installing]
OpenCoarrays or [using OpenCoarrays], please take the following
actions:

 1. Search the [issues] page (including [closed issues]) to see if
    anyone has encountered the same problem. If so add your experience
    to that thread.
 2. Search the [mailing list] to see if the issue has been discussed
    there.
 3. If unable to resolve the problem, please file a [new issue] and be
    sure to include the following information:
    - [ ] Fortran compiler used with OpenCoarrays, including version
          number
    - [ ] C compiler used to build OpenCoarrays
    - [ ] Communication library being used e.g., MPICH, OpenMPI, MVAPICH
          or GASNet and the version number
    - [ ] Open Coarrays version number, or if building from `master`,
          commit SHA (`caf --version` should give you the most detailed
          version information, whether built from the git repository or a
          release tarball.)
    - [ ] Conditions required to reproduce the problem:
      - [ ] OS, name and version
      - [ ] Architecture of machine/hardware the code is running on
      - [ ] Number of MPI ranks/processing elements/coarray images being
            run on
      - [ ] How the code was compiled, including all flags and commands
      - [ ] Minimal reproducer code (a few lines) required to trigger the
            bug
 4. Any help you can provide diagnosing, isolating and fixing the
    problem is appreciated! Please see the [helping out] section for
    more information.

An [issue template] is in the `.github` folder to help ensure
compliance, and adequate information is provided.

## Requesting Enhancements ##

If you would like OpenCoarrays to support a new communication library,
OS, or have any other suggestions for its improvement, please take the
following action:

 1. Search the [issues] page and [mailing list] to see if the feature
    or enhancement has already been requested.
 2. If not, please file a [new issue], and clearly explain your
    proposed enhancement.
 3. If you are able to help out in the implementation or testing of
    the proposed feature, please see the [helping out] section of this
    document.

## Helping Out ##

Thank you for your interest in contributing to OpenCoarrays! Your help
is very appreciated! Below are some tips and guidelines to get
started.

### Outside Contributors ###

Here is a checklist to help you get started contributing to
OpenCoarrays and walk you through the process:

- [ ] Take a look at the [issues] page. Make sure that you're not
      about to duplicate someone else's work.
- [ ] Post a [new issue] discussing the changes you're proposing to
      implement; whether bug fix(es) or enhancement(s)/feature
      request(s)--or give us a heads up that you are going to start work
      on [an open issue][issues].
- [ ] Please [fork the OpenCoarrays repo][fork] to your private repository.
- [ ] Sign the [Contributor License Agreement (CLA)] by clicking the
      "details" link to the right of the `license/cla` check and
      following the directions on the CLA assistant web page
- [ ] Follow the guidelines for [all contributors], listed below

### All Contributors ###

- [ ] Next [Create a branch] and make sure to include the issue
      number(s) in the branch name, for example:
      `issue-53-fix-install-dir-logic` or `fix-typo-#23`
- [ ] Configure your local repository with the white space settings
      (and git hooks to enforce these) by running
      `./developer-scripts/setup-git.sh`. (Add the `--global` flag to
      this script to use these settings across all your new repositories,
      or newly cloned repositories.)  Pull requests introducing errant
      spaces and non-printing characters will not be accepted until these
      problems are addressed.
- [ ] Make your changes and commit them to your local repository,
      following these guidelines:
  - [ ] Each commit should be a logically atomic, self-consistent,
        cohesive set of changes.
  - [ ] The code should compile and pass all tests after each commit.
  - [ ] The code should be legible and any non-obvious features
        commented appropriately.
  - [ ] All unit tests should be run locally and pass. (Run `ctest` in
        the build directory.)
  - [ ] Tests should be added for new features and significant new
        code, steps should be taken to ensure that the total coverage
        remains the same or increases.
  - [ ] The [commit message] should follow [these guidelines]:
    - [ ] First line is directive phrase, starting with a capitalized
          imperative verb, and is no longer than 50 characters
          summarizing your commit
    - [ ] Next line, if necessary is blank
    - [ ] Following lines are all wrapped at 72 characters and can
          include additional paragraphs, bulleted lists, etc.
    - [ ] Use [Github keywords] where appropriate, to indicate the
          commit resolves an open issue.
    - [ ] Please do your best to keep a [clean and coherent
          history]. `git add -p ...`, `git commit --amend` and `git rebase
          --interactive <root-ref>` can be helpful to rework your commits
          into a cleaner, clearer state.
- [ ] Next, [open up a pull request] against the appropriate base
      branch, [`master`] of [sourceryinstitute/OpenCoarrays][home]
  - [ ] In the title, please include the text `issue-<#>`, where `<#>`
        is replaced by the issue number of the feature request or bug
        report corresponding to this PR.
  - [ ] If the PR is a work in progress, please add `WIP: ...` to the
        title, and rename it deleting that text once the PR is ready
        to be merged.
  - [ ] If the PR is problematic for any reason please add `DO NOT
        MERGE` to the title, until it is either abandoned or fixed.
- [ ] Please be patient and responsive to requests and comments from
      SourceryInstitute (SI) team members. You may be asked to amend or
      otherwise alter commits, or push new commits to your branch.

### Contributors with Write Access ###

SI team members and collaborators with push access must wait 24 hours
before self-approving pull requests via [pullapprove comment] or
[Github code review] so that someone else has the chance to review the
proposed changes, and provide a formal code review. Due to the small
size of the development team, it is unrealistic to *require* a code
review under all circumstances. This policy ensures that there is at
least an opportunity for a formal code review by another developer.

## OpenCoarrays Branches ##

OpenCoarrays uses the [Github flow] workflow. There are [a number of
resources] available to learn about the [Github flow] workflow,
including a [video]. The gist of it is that the `master` branch is
always deploy-able and deployed. The means at anytime, a new tagged
release could be shipped using the `master` branch.

### Master ###

The `master` branch should remain in pristine, stable condition all of
the time. Any changes are applied atomically via pull requests. It
should be assumed that users are using the code on this branch,
and great care should be taken to ensure its stability. Most bug fixes
and incremental improvements will get merged into the `master` branch
as soon as they are deemed ready for production.
