As the Ussuri goal we have an OpenStack project wide contributing documentation template [1]. os-vif use its own bug or feature tracking LP and core team is also not exactly same as nova so adding its own contributor guide with keeping common links from nova with os-vif specific information. Also the top level CONTRIBUTING.rst template has been changed in the cookiecutter repo[2]. So this patch updates the CONTRIBUTING.rst according to the new template.

So You Want to Contribute...
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
For general information on contributing to OpenStack, please check out the
|
|
`contributor guide <https://docs.openstack.org/contributors/>`_ to get started.
|
|
It covers all the basics that are common to all OpenStack projects: the accounts
|
|
you need, the basics of interacting with our Gerrit review system, how we
|
|
communicate as a community, etc.
|
|
|
|
Below will cover the more project specific information you need to get started
|
|
with os-vif.
|
|
|
|
Communication

Contacting the Core Team
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|

The overall structure of the os-vif team is documented on `the wiki

<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Nova#People>`_.
|
|
|
|
New Feature Planning
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
You can file an RFE `bug <https://bugs.launchpad.net/os-vif/+filebug>`_ if it
|
|
has no interaction with other projects like nova or neutron.
|
|
|
|
If changes are part of the nova or neutron feature then it can be tracked
|
|
as part of the nova or neutron feature. In that case, you should use the
|
|
same topic to track the os-vif changes.
|
|
|
|
Task Tracking
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
We track our tasks in `Launchpad <https://bugs.launchpad.net/os-vif>`__.
|
|
|
|
If you're looking for some smaller, easier work item to pick up and get started
|
|
on, search for the 'low-hanging-fruit' tag.
|
|
|
|
