This is horribly out of date;


The windows section was updated to use git but the other sections still say SVN. I was about to fix it when I realized that we haven't really worked out the details of how we would like to see contributions come in to windmill over github.

This effects the install from source docs because we have the choice of either using the pull method described, cloning, or emphasizing a fork and clone if we want to try and lean on people installing from source to push their changes upstream to their fork.

My ideal contribution workflow looks like this:

- Individual makes a local change
- Individual pushes change to github fork of http://github.com/windmill/windmill

Now that individual either sends us a pull request (is someone watching the windmill users message queue?) or we notice it in the fork queue (does anyone look at this regularly).

Then one of the code developers merges the change locally, pushes to their master, then pushes to windmill/windmill/tree/master.

But if we want to encourage this behavior we are going to have to document it fairly well.

Thoughts? Complaints?

I agree, I think we have already had a couple people do it this way and it has worked really well, love me some merges.

Now to just update the docs... :)
