| ## Raising issues |
| |
| Please raise any bug reports on the issue tracker. Be sure to |
| search the list to see if your issue has already been raised. |
| |
| A good bug report is one that make it easy for us to understand what you were |
| trying to do and what went wrong. Provide as much context as possible so we can try to recreate the issue. |
| |
| |
| ### Contributor License Agreement |
| |
| In order for us to accept pull-requests, the contributor must first complete |
| a Contributor License Agreement (CLA). This clarifies the intellectual |
| property license granted with any contribution. It is for your protection as a |
| Contributor as well as the protection of IBM and its clients; it does not |
| change your rights to use your own Contributions for any other purpose. |
| |
| You can download the CLAs here: |
| |
| - [individual](CLA-INDIVIDUAL.md) |
| - [corporate](CLA-CORPORATE.md) |
| |
| |
| ### Coding standards |
| |
| Please ensure you follow the coding standards used throughout the existing |
| code base. Some basic rules include: |
| |
| - all files must have the Apache license in the header. |
| - all PRs must have passing builds for all operating systems. |
