| Contributing to Skia |
| ==================== |
| |
| Here some ways you can get involved and help us improve Skia. |
| |
| |
| Report Bugs |
| ----------- |
| |
| Find bugs to fix or report new bugs in the [Skia issue |
| tracker](http://bug.skia.org/). You can also search the [Chromium issue |
| tracker](http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/list) for bugs related to |
| graphics or Skia. |
| |
| Test |
| ---- |
| |
| Write an application or tool that will exercise the Skia code differently than |
| our current set of tests and verify that Skia works as expected. |
| Draw something interesting and profile it to find ways to speed up Skia's |
| implementation. |
| We cannot always fix issues or support every scenario, but we welcome any bugs |
| found so we can assess and prioritize them. (If you find _and_ fix a bug, even |
| better!) |
| |
| Contribute Code |
| --------------- |
| |
| Whether you develop a new feature or a fix for an existing bug in the Skia code |
| base, you will need a committer to review and approve the change. |
| There are some steps that can speed up the review process: |
| Keep your code submissions small and targeted. |
| When possible, have a fellow contributor review your change in advance of |
| submission. |
| Propose new features to the project leads by opening a feature bug |
| or posting to skia-discuss ahead of development. |
| For more information, see [How to submit a patch](/dev/contrib/submit). |
| |
| For background on the project and an outline of the types of roles interested |
| parties can take on, see [Project Roles](/roles). |
| |
| Anyone contributing code to Skia must sign a Contributor License Agreement and |
| ensure they are listed in the AUTHORS file: |
| Individual contributors can complete the [Individual Contributor License |
| Agreement](https://developers.google.com/open-source/cla/individual) online. |
| If you are contributing on behalf of a corporation, fill out the [Corporate |
| Contributor License |
| Agreement](https://developers.google.com/open-source/cla/corporate) and send it |
| in as described on that page. |
| If it is your first time submitting code or you have not previously done so, |
| add your (or your organization's) name and contact info to the [AUTHORS |
| file](https://skia.googlesource.com/skia/+/master/AUTHORS) as a part of your CL. |
| |
| REVIEWERS: Before you LGTM a change, verify that the contributor is listed in |
| the AUTHORS file. |
| If they are not, a Googler must ensure that the individual or |
| their corporation has signed the CLA by searching |
| [go/cla-signers](https://goto.google.com/cla-signers). |
| Then have an entry added to the AUTHORS file with the CL. |
