At this point you're waiting on us. We do our best to keep on top of all the pull requests. We may suggest some changes, improvements or alternatives. Some things that will increase the chance that your pull request is accepted: - Write tests. - Write a [good commit message](http://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/). - Make sure the PR merges cleanly with the latest master. - Describe your feature/bugfix and why it's needed/important in the pull request description. ## Editor Config The project uses [.editorconfig](http://editorconfig.org/) to define the coding style of each file. We recommend that you install the Editor Config extension for your preferred IDE. Consistency is key.
