FOR ARCHIVAL PURPOSES ONLY

The information in this wiki hasn't been maintained for a good while. Some of the projects described have since been deprecated.

In particular, the "Ushahidi Platform v3.x" section contains information that is often misleading. Many details about this version of Platform have changed since.

This website is an extraction of the original Ushahidi wiki into a static form. Because of that, functions like logging in, commenting or searching will not work.

Sharing Your Changes with Ushahidi

If you're a member of the Ushahidi organization, it's as simple as:

git push upstream masterdevelop

However, most developers won't fall under this category. In that case you'll want to suggest Ushahidi include your changes by creating a pull request. Pull requests allow us to evaluate incoming changes, ensure code quality and security, and gives us an opportunity to work with developers to polish code patches before they're committed to the repo. Ideally code to be pushed upstream should be in its own branch.

To create a pull request, go to your project's page on GitHub and press the 'Pull Request' button in the header. It's fairly straightforward from there, but you can visit the GitHub help page for a walk-through of the process. Pull requests can take a bit to be vetted; please be patient.

In most cases, pull requests should be submitted to the 'Develop' branch of Ushahidi_Web.
