NAME
Type::Tiny::Manual::Contributing - contributing to Type::Tiny development.
MANUAL
Reporting bugs
Bug reports (including wishlist items) can be submitted to GitHub.
https://github.com/tobyink/p5-type-tiny/issues.
Test cases written using Test::More are always appreciated.
Fixing bugs
If something doesn't work as documented, or causes unexpected crashes, and you know how to fix it, then either attach a patch to the bug report (see above) or as a pull request to the project on GitHub.
https://github.com/tobyink/p5-type-tiny.
Please try to follow the coding style used in the rest of the project. (Tab indents, spaces for alignment, British English spellings, pod at the end of code but the start of test cases, etc.)

Adding Test Cases
New test cases for the Type::Tiny test suite are always welcome. The coveralls page for Type::Tiny should reveal what parts of the code are most needing good test cases. Any files with below 95% coverage are highest priority.
https://coveralls.io/github/tobyink/p5-type-tiny.
Type::Tiny is now also on Codecov which does coverage accounting slightly differently, giving some stricter targets to aim for.

Type::Tiny::XS
I'm not really a C programmer, nor am I that familiar with Perl's internals, so help with Type::Tiny::XS is always appreciated. There are some type constraints in Types::Standard, Types::Common::String, and Types::Common::Numeric which don't have XS implementations.
Writing Type Libraries
Though I'm unlikely to bundle many more type libraries in this distribution, uploading your own type libraries to CPAN will strengthen the Type::Tiny ecosystem.
Donate
If you or your organization uses Type::Tiny and you wish to contribute financially, you should be able to find links to donate on the Type::Tiny website at https://typetiny.toby.ink/.
Please note that I am not suggesting that you must do this in order for me to continue working on Type::Tiny and related modules.
NEXT STEPS
You've reached the end of the manual!
But each class, type library, and other package includes more detailed documentation.
