XSLTForms/Contributing Code

The XSLTForms project has over its history moved through several source-code repositories. A Web search will find multiple SourceForge and GitHub repositories for the project.

Note: The original plan for this book was to populate the two pages linked from the table of contents with the titles XSLT 1.0 stylesheet - Templates and Javascript - Classes and Functions with auto-generated documentation for the xsltforms.xsl and xsltforms.js; as may be seen from the page histories, the Javascript documentation was auto-generated in 2010 and the XSLT documentation has never been generated. A new plan for providing documentation for would-be contributors may be needed.

Active repository

Currently (February 2017), active development takes place in a GitHub repository called xphoneforms; builds can be obtained from the repositories named xsltforms on GitHub and SourceForge but these are currently just copies from the development repository.

Proposing changes

Currently (February 2017), the best way to propose changes to XSLTForms is probably to use GitHub's 'pull request' feature:

1. Fork the xphoneforms repository.
2. Make your changes in your forked copy.
3. Test them.
4. Use the GitHub Make pull request button to create a pull request for the main repository which includes the changes you want to propose.

Note that the directory /src/js contains both an xsltforms.js and an xsltforms2.js subdirectory. If you are proposing changes to the current XSLTForms, there is no need to make changes in the latter: the two directories will be synchronized when required.
