5.1.1 Status
December 27th, 2013
I’m rewriting Pyblosxom fixing a lot of problems I had with it. This project is in crazy flux right now. I don’t expect
anyone to want to help at this stage. If you want to help anyways, see the issues in the issue tracker for what’s in the
queue of things to fix.
5.1.2 How to clone the project
Douglas is on GitHub.
If you have a GitHub account [Recommended]
This is the ideal way to contribute because GitHub makes things simple and convenient.
Go to the project page (https://github.com/willkg/douglas) and click on “Fork” at the top right on the screen. GitHub
will create a copy of the Douglas repository in your account for you to work on.
Create a new branch off of master for any new work that you do.
