If you would like to contribute to Chicago Boss or the related projects including boss_db, tiny_pq and so on then we welcome your contributions. However in order to keep our code quality as high as we can we ask that everyone read this guide before sending pull requests. (And if you don't get it perfect we won't bite your head off)
Please keep your pull requests simple, if you want to make changes to the mongo db driver and add a driver for couch db do the first on a mongo branch and the second on a couch branch, and then send 2 pull requests.
I run dialyzer on everything, if it breaks it probably means that I have more work to do, so try to make it pass.
I have been adding tests with proper to boss_db and they will show up in boss sooner or later. While historically most of the code does not have any sort of tests we need to start adding it. Unit tests are good, property based tests are better.
If your code has more than 1 level of nested case, fun or foldl, It needs to be re factored. Really keep the functions short.
Please use EDoc (http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/edoc/chapter.html) compatible comments for your functions and modules. In-code comments are welcome too.
