Branching model
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When planning a code cotnribution, these is the project branching model:
* new features goes to develop
* bugfixes for releases goes to release/Y.Z.x branches
* master is just a snapshot of the latest stable release and should not be targeted
Write Documentation
===================
djangocms-blog could always use more documentation, whether as part of the
official djangocms-blog docs, in docstrings, or even on the web in blog posts,
articles, and such.
Submit Feedback
===============
The best way to send feedback is to file an issue at https://github.com/nephila/djangocms-blog/issues.
If you are proposing a feature:
* Explain in detail how it would work.
* Keep the scope as narrow as possible, to make it easier to implement.
* Remember that this is a volunteer-driven project, and that contributions
are welcome :)

Ready to contribute? Here's how to set up `djangocms-blog` for local development.
1. Fork the `djangocms-blog` repo on GitHub.
2. Clone your fork locally::
$ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/djangocms-blog.git
3. Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have virtualenvwrapper installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development::
$ mkvirtualenv djangocms-blog
$ cd djangocms-blog/
$ python setup.py develop
4. Create a branch for local development::
$ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
Now you can make your changes locally.
5. When you're done making changes, check that your changes pass flake8 and the
tests, including testing other Python versions with tox::
$ tox
<<<<<<< HEAD
To get tox, just pip install them into your virtualenv.

>>>>>>> release/0.8.x
6. Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub::
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes."
$ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
7. Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.
***********************
Pull Request Guidelines
***********************
Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:
1. The pull request should include tests.
2. If the pull request adds functionality, the docs should be updated. Put
your new functionality into a function with a docstring, and add the
feature to the list in README.rst.
3. The pull request should work for Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6. Check
https://travis-ci.org/nephila/djangocms-blog/pull_requests
and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.
