Contributing to GNU Stow
========================
Development of Stow, and GNU in general, is a volunteer effort, and
you can contribute. If you'd like to get involved, it's a good idea to join
the [stow-devel](https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/stow-devel)
mailing list.
Bug reporting
-------------
Please follow the procedure described in [the "Reporting Bugs"
section](https://www.gnu.org/software/stow/manual/html_node/Reporting-Bugs.html#Reporting-Bugs)
of [the manual](README.md#documentation).
Development
-----------
For [development sources](https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=stow)
and other information, please see the [Stow project
page](http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/stow/) at
[savannah.gnu.org](http://savannah.gnu.org).
There is also a
[stow-devel](https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/stow-devel)
mailing list (see [Mailing lists](README.md#mailing-lists)).
Testing
~~~~~~~
The test suite can be found in the [`t/`](t/) subdirectory. You can
run the test suite via:
make check
Individual tests can be run as follows:
perl -It t/stow.t
or with a given debugging verbosity corresponding to the `-v` / `--verbose`
command-line option:
TEST_VERBOSE=4 perl -It t/stow.t
Translating Stow
----------------
Stow is not currently multi-lingual, but patches would be very
gratefully accepted. Please e-mail
[stow-devel](https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/stow-devel) if you
intend to work on this.
Maintainers
-----------
Stow is currently being maintained by Adam Spiers. Please use [the
mailing lists](README.md#mailing-lists).
