Contributing

This book is undergoing a custom edit with O'Reilly publishing and we welcome
contributions to make it as accurate as possible. Our target is the Havana release.
The style guide to follow is at `chimera.labs.oreilly.com <http://chimera.labs.oreilly.com/books/1230000000969/index.html`_.
Our community welcomes all people interested in open source cloud computing,
and encourages you to join the `OpenStack Foundation <http://www.openstack.org/join>`_.
The best way to get involved with the community is to talk with others online
or at a meetup and offer contributions through our processes, the `OpenStack
wiki <http://wiki.openstack.org>`_, blogs, or on IRC at ``#openstack``
on ``irc.freenode.net``.
Testing of changes and building of the manual
=============================================
Install the python tox package and run "tox" from the top-level
directory to use the same tests that are done as part of our Jenkins
gating jobs.
If you like to run individual tests, run:
* "tox -e checkniceness" - to run the niceness tests
* "tox -e checksyntax" - to run syntax checks
* "tox -e checkdeletions" - to check that no deleted files are referenced
* "tox -e checkbuild" - to actually build the manual
tox will use the openstack-doc-tools package for execution of these
tests.
