Contributing to Docker
======================
Want to hack on Docker? Awesome! Here are instructions to get you started. They are probably not perfect, please let us know if anything feels wrong or incomplete.
Contribution guidelines
-----------------------
### Pull requests are always welcome
We are always thrilled to receive pull requests, and do our best to process them as fast as possible. Not sure if that typo is worth a pull request? Do it! We will appreciate it.
If your pull request is not accepted on the first try, don't be discouraged! If there's a problen with the implementation, hopefully you received feedback on what to improve.
We're trying very hard to keep Docker lean and focused. We don't want it to do everything for everybody. This means that we might decide against incorporating a new feature.
However there might be a way to implement that feature *on top of* docker.
### Discuss your design on the mailing list
We recommend discussing your plans [on the mailing list](https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/docker-club) before starting to code - especially for more ambitious contributions. This gives other contributors a chance to point
you in the right direction, give feedback on your design, and maybe point out if someone else is working on the same thing.
### Create issues...
Any significant improvement should be documented as a github issue before anybody start working on it.
### ...but check for existing issues first!
Please take a moment to check that an issue doesn't already exist documenting your bug report or improvement proposal.
If it does, it never hurts to add a quick "+1" or "I have this problem too". This will help prioritize the most common problems and requests.
### Write tests
Golang has a great testing suite built in: use it! Take a look at existing tests for inspiration.
