### Contributing to Chosen
Contributions and pull requests are very welcome. Please follow these guidelines when submitting new code.
1. Make all changes in Coffeescript files, **not** JavaScript files.
2. For feature changes, update both jQuery *and* Prototype versions
3. Use 'cake build' to generate Chosen's JavaScript file and minified version.
4. Don't touch the VERSION file
5. Submit a Pull Request using GitHub.
### Using CoffeeScript & Cake
First, make sure you have the proper CoffeeScript / Cake set-up in place.
1. Install Coffeescript: the [CoffeeScript documentation](http://jashkenas.github.com/coffee-script/) provides easy-to-follow instructions.
2. Install UglifyJS: <code>npm -g install uglify-js</code>
3. Verify that your $NODE_PATH is properly configured using <code>echo $NODE_PATH</code>
Once you're configured, building the JavasScript from the command line is easy:
cake build # build Chosen from source
cake watch # watch coffee/ for changes and build Chosen
If you're interested, you can find the recipes in Cakefile.
