  Contributing to llvmlite
  ========================
  
  llvmlite originated to fulfill the needs of the Numba_ project.
  It is maintained mostly by the Numba team. We tend to prioritize
  the needs and constraints of Numba over other conflicting desires.
  
  We do welcome any contributions in the form of
  :ref:`bug reports <report-bugs>` or :ref:`pull requests <pull-requests>`.

  Communication methods
  =====================
  
  Mailing list
  ------------
  
  Send email to the Numba users public mailing list at
  numba-users@anaconda.com. You are welcome to send any questions
  about contributing to llvmlite to this mailing list.
  
  You can subscribe and read the archives on
  `Google Groups <https://groups.google.com/a/anaconda.com/forum/#!forum/numba-users>`_.
  The `Gmane mirror <http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.numba.user>`_
  allows NNTP access.
  
  .. _report-bugs:
  
  Bug reports
  -----------
  
  We use the
  `Github issue tracker <https://github.com/numba/llvmlite/issues>`_
  to track both bug reports and feature requests. If you report an
  issue, please include:
  
  * What you are trying to do.
  
  * Your operating system.
  
  * What version of llvmlite you are running.
  
  * A description of the problem---for example, the full error
    traceback or the unexpected results you are getting.
  
  * As far as possible, a code snippet that allows full
    reproduction of your problem.
  
  .. _pull-requests:
  
  Pull requests
  -------------
  
  To contribute code:
  
  #. Fork our `Github repository <https://github.com/numba/llvmlite>`_.
  
  #. Create a branch representing your work.
  
  #. When your work is ready, submit it as a pull request from the
     Github interface.
  
  
  Development rules
  =================
  
  Coding conventions
  ------------------
  
  * All Python code should follow `PEP 8 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/>`_.
  * Our C++ code does not have a well-defined coding style.
  * Code and documentation should generally fit within 80 columns,
    for maximum readability with all existing tools, such as code
    review user interfaces.
  
  
  Platform support
  ----------------
  
  Llvmlite will be kept compatible with Python 3.6 and later
  under at least Windows, macOS and Linux.
  
  We do not expect contributors to test their code on all platforms.
  Pull requests are automatically built and tested using
  `Travis-CI <https://travis-ci.org/numba/llvmlite>`_, which
  addresses Linux compatibility. Other operating systems are tested
  on an internal continuous integration platform at
  Anaconda\ |reg|.
