Development
The Relax-and-Recover project uses Github for source code management, issue tracking and this website.
Mailinglists
The Relax-and-Recover project offers three mailinglists:
- rear-announce mailinglist used for release announcements
- rear-users mailinglist used for end-user support
- rear-devel mailinglist used for development discussions
Reporting issues
The Github interface enables users to report issues or discuss improvements and new features through the issue-tracker at: http://github.com/rear/rear/issues
Once reported, one of the contributors can assign it to someone, classify it and attached it to a milestone release. Managing issues in this manner helps in collaborating, but also provides full transparency to users and contributors alike.
