We'd love for you to contribute to our source code and to make Material Design Lite even better than it is today! Here are the guidelines we'd like you to follow:
As contributors and maintainers of the Material Design Lite project, we pledge to respect everyone who contributes by posting issues, updating documentation, submitting pull requests, providing feedback in comments, and any other activities.
Communication through any of Material Design Lite's channels (GitHub, StackOverflow, Google+, Twitter, etc.) must be constructive and never resort to personal attacks, trolling, public or private harrassment, insults, or other unprofessional conduct.
We promise to extend courtesy and respect to everyone involved in this project regardless of gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, race, ethnicity, religion, or level of experience. We expect anyone contributing to the Material Design Lite project to do the same.
If any member of the community violates this code of conduct, the maintainers of the Material Design Lite project may take action, removing issues, comments, and PRs or blocking accounts as deemed appropriate.
If you have questions about how to use Material Design Lite, please direct these to [StackOverflow][stackoverflow] and use the `material-design-lite` tag. We are also available on GitHub issues.
If you feel that we're missing an important bit of documentation, feel free to
file an issue so we can help. Here's an example to get you started:
```
Component (if any):
What are you trying to do or find out more about?
Where have you looked?
Where did you expect to find this information?
```
Or, if you're looking for a new design template:
```
Please provide a short summary of the template you’re looking for.
What makes this template interesting or challenging from a design perspective?
Please provide any URLs to good examples of this type of page that you may have come across.
*[Website](http://www.getmdl.io/) related issues should be filed on the [Web Fundamentals](https://github.com/google/WebFundamentals/issues/new) issue tracker.*
* Create your patch, **including appropriate test cases**.
* Follow our [Coding Rules](#rules).
* Run the full Material Design Lite test suite (`gulp test`),
and ensure that all tests pass.
* Avoid checking in files that shouldn't be tracked (e.g `node_modules`, `gulp-cache`, `.tmp`, `.idea`). We recommend using a [global](#global-gitignore) gitignore for this.
We generally follow the [Google JavaScript style guide][js-style-guide] with a few minor exceptions documented in our [JSCS configuration][jscs-config].
