h2. How to do it

• Fork the project.
• Add specs for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Make your feature addition or bug fix.
• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
• Get mentioned on this page :)

h2. Helpful commands

In the top level project folder:

• @install@: Installs all gems from source, locally.
• @specs@: Runs all specs for all gems.
• @integration@: Runs an integration test on the "getting started" (installs gems, opens a browser and runs a query).

In the specific project folders (like server, client, generators etc.):

• @rake@: Runs the specs for the specific project. (for some, you need a "Redis":http://redis.io server running)
