The discussion of Friendica development takes place in the following Friendica forums:
* The main [forum for Friendica development](https://forum.friendi.ca/profile/developers)
-* The [forum for Friendica theme development](https://friendica.eu/profile/ftdevs)
## Help other users
Are you good at designing things?
If you have seen Friendica you probably have ideas to improve it, haven't you?

* Tell us if you are able to realize your ideas or what kind of help you need.
We can't promise we have the right skills in the group but we'll try.
It's a command-line tool that downloads required libraries into the `vendor` folder and makes any namespaced class in `src` available through the whole application through `boot.php`.
+If you want to have git automatically update the dependencies with composer, you can use the `post-merge` [git-hook](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Customizing-Git-Git-Hooks) with a script similar to this one:
+
+ #/usr/bin/env bash
+ # MIT © Sindre Sorhus - sindresorhus.com
+ # forked by Gianluca Guarini
+ # phponly by Ivo Bathke ;)
+ # modified for Friendica by Tobias Diekershoff
+ changed_files="$(git diff-tree -r --name-only --no-commit-id ORIG_HEAD HEAD)"
+ check_run() {
+ echo "$changed_files" | grep --quiet "$1" && eval "$2"
+ }
+ # `composer install` if the `composer.lock` file gets changed
+ # to update all the php dependencies
+ check_run composer.lock "bin/composer.phar install --no-dev"
+
+just place it into `.git/hooks/post-merge` and make it executable.

* Boolean operators are `&&` and `||` for PHP conditions, `AND` and `OR` for SQL queries
* No closing PHP tag
* No trailing spaces
+* Array declarations use the new square brackets syntax
+* Quoting style is single quotes by default, except for needed string interpolation, SQL query strings by convention and comments that should stay in natural language.
Don't worry, you don't have to know by heart the PSR-2 coding standards to start contributing to Friendica.
There are a few tools you can use to check or fix your files before you commit.
You can simply install it through PEAR: `pear install PHP_CodeSniffer`
Once it is installed and available in your PATH, here's the command to run before committing your work:
- $> phpcs --standard=PSR2 <file or directory>
+ $> phpcs --standard=ruleset.xml <file or directory>
The output is a list of all the coding standards violations that you should fix before committing your work.
Additionally, `phpcs` integrates with a few IDEs (Eclipse, Netbeans, PHPStorm...) so that you don't have to fiddle with the command line.
Thankfully, PHP Code Sniffer is shipped with an automatic code fixer that can take care of the tedious task for you.
Here's the command to automatically fix the files you created/modified:
- $> phpcbf --standard=PSR2 <file or directory>
+ $> phpcbf --standard=ruleset.xml <file or directory>
If the command-line tools `diff` and `patch` are unavailabe for you, `phpcbf` can use slightly slower PHP equivalents by using the `--no-patch` argument.
### Code documentation
If you are interested in having the documentation of the Friendica code outside of the code files, you can use [Doxygen](http://doxygen.org) to generate it.
-The configuration file for Doxygen is located in the `util` directory of the project sources.
+The configuration file for Doxygen is located in the base directory of the project sources.
Run
- $> doxygen util/Doxyfile
+ $> doxygen Doxyfile
to generate the files which will be located in the `doc/html` subdirectory in the Friendica directory.
You can browse these files with any browser.
* Try to reproduce a bug that needs more inquiries and write down what you find out.
* If a bug looks fixed, ask the bug reporters for feedback to find out if the bug can be closed.
* Fix a bug if you can. Please make the pull request against the *develop* branch of the repository.
-* There is a *Junior Job* label for issues we think might be a good point to start with.
+* There is a *[Junior Job](https://github.com/friendica/friendica/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A"Junior+Jobs")* label for issues we think might be a good point to start with.
But you don't have to limit yourself to those issues.
### Web interface
* Look at the first steps that were made (e.g. the clean theme).
Ask us to find out whom to talk to about their experiences.
* Talk to design people if you know any.
-* Let us know about your plans [in the dev forum](https://forum.friendi.ca/profile/developers) or the [theme developer forum](https://friendica.eu/profile/ftdevs).
+* Let us know about your plans [in the dev forum](https://forum.friendi.ca/profile/developers)
Do not worry about cross-posting.
