Here are a few guidelines you should follow before submitting: - 1. All contributions must be licensed as [GNU GPLv3](https://github.com/Libresonic/libresonic/blob/develop/LICENSE.txt) to be accepted. Use [`git commit --signoff`](https://jk.gs/git-commit.html) to acknowledge this. - 2. New features or changes to existing ones must not degrade the user experience. This means do not introduce bugs, remove functionality, or make large changes to existing themes/UI without prior discussion in an Issue. - 3. Use sane coding standards. Language best-practices should be followed, comment generously, and avoid "clever" algorithms. Refactoring existing messes is great, but watch out for breakage. - 4. Be bold! Without contributions, this project will vanish. If you just want to help out, try [submiting a patch](https://github.com/Libresonic/libresonic/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Apatches-welcome) for an open Issue. - 5. Stay relevant. Issues or commentary that is off-topic or tangential to Libresonic development is subject to moderation. Questions should be focussed, with a goal of improving documentation rather than answering a specific problem. You can visit #Libresonic on Freenode IRC for community discussion. + 1. **License Acceptance** All contributions must be licensed as [GNU GPLv3](https://github.com/Libresonic/libresonic/blob/develop/LICENSE.txt) to be accepted.
