Contribution Guidelines

Introduction

We want to invite anyone to join the project and help improving it. There are many ways to participate like reporting bugs, writing documentation, creating/updating samples, helping on the mailing list or even contributing code and patches just to name a few. However, like with any other open source project, certain policies define the process and requirements before a contribution gets accepted.

Any SEEK related application, enhancement, bugfix or new code regarding the SmartCard API and its subprojects is welcome. Keep in mind that

• Copyright of patches has to be "Copyright XXXX Giesecke & Devrient GmbH." or "Copyright (c) XXXX, The Android Open Source Project" indicated in the header of each source file (to allow later contribution to AOSP)
• Coding style has to meet AOSP requirements or the applicable project requirements
• Language (variables, documentation, ...) has to be English
• Support should be available for the contributed code when bugs are reported or Mailing List discussions arise
• Contributing a new (sub)project also requires the creation of a Documentation in the Wiki
