= Hacking on Net::LDAP

We welcome your contributions to Net::LDAP. To increase the chances of your
patches being accepted, we recommend that you follow the guidelines below:

1. Your code should be formatted like the rest of Net::LDAP. We use a text
   wrap of 76 - 78 characters, especially for documentation contents.
   Operators should have spaces around them, method definitions should have
   parentheses around arguments. Keep the indentation as flat as possible.
2. Your changes should be well-documented and described.
3. You must provide Rspec tests for any new or changed features.
4. You should provide LDIF data for importing into LDAP servers so that the
   changes can be tested <em>in situ</em> with more than one real LDAP
   server.
5. You should have tested your changes against a real LDAP server.
6. Your patch should include modifications to History.rdoc summarizing the
   change.
7. If you're a first-time contributor, your patch should include modifications
   to Contributors.rdoc.
