To fix bugs or add features to Pecan, a GitHub account is required.

The general practice for contributing is to fork Pecan and make changes in the next branch. When you're finished, send a pull request and the developers will review your patch.

All contributions must:

• Include accompanying tests.
• Include narrative and API documentation if new features are added.
• Be (generally) compliant with PEP8.
• Not break the test or build. Before issuing a pull request, $ pip install tox && tox from your source to ensure that all tests still pass across multiple versions of Python.
• Add your name to the (bottom of the) AUTHORS file.

Most Pecan interaction is done via the #pecanpy channel on FreeNode IRC.
