We welcome contributions to any of our open source projects.
If you're not sure where to start, review the open issues on github (you might be particularly interested in the issues labelled help wanted or good for beginners) and then see our contributing guidelines to get started.
If you're still not sure where to start, that's totally fine! Just shoot us an email and we'll do our best to help.
We are making regular updates that may or may not always play nice with previous versions.
For released versions of Largo, please see the list of tagged releases.
The release branch is what INN is using for our sites in production. Please do not submit pull requests to this branch unless they are minor hotfixes that can be directly merged.
The trunk branch is contains work in progress slated for our next point release. Feel free to try it out, report issues, etc. but we DO NOT recommend using it in production. This is also typically the branch to submit pull requests to if you want to contribute to the project.
The master, develop, and 1.0 branches contain work in progress slated for an eventual rewrite of Largo.
