Contributing

This is open-source software and as such may be contributed to either directly or indirectly. Thank you for contributing. Please use the methods outlined here to contribute in order to make the process as smooth as possible for everyone involved.

Ideas or Information

Perhaps the most common way to contribute is with ideas or information. You might have a suggestion for a new feature or a cleaner interface. You might have spotted a bug in the functionality or an error (even if just a typo) in the documentation. You might know of a related project with which there could be collaboration. These and many more should be raised in the first instance on the CPAN RT.

General comments

Visit [http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bugs.html?Dist=WebService-AbuseIPDB] and have a look through the existing issues (both open and resolved) to make sure that there is not already a ticket dealing with the point you were going to make.

Submit your comment or suggestion with as much specificity and detail as you can and please try to accompany any suggestions with a rationale.

Please make your point in English. Tickets raised in other languages will most likely be subject to automated translation and thus some loss of integrity.

Bugs

Bugs reports should also be submitted via RT as above. A bug report is more likely to receive extensive and timely attention if it includes the following:

If you are a programmer, it would also be very beneficial to have the following:

Submitters of high quality bug reports will be acknowledged in future releases.

Code

If you are reading this section then thank you very much for even considering contributing code to this project. Here are some guidelines to ensure a harmonious community of contributors.

Exposure/Kudos

This is a small project and would benefit from wider exposure. If you like the project (aims, style, concept, etc.) do please consider one or more of these methods of bringing it to the attention of a wider audience.

Lucre

Whisper it quietly: free as in beer rarely pays the bills. While we are not in this to get rich quick, a little recompense would go a long way. If you would like to contribute in a monetary form then please consider donating in one of these ways.
