Submissions should be written in english or french.

h2. Submitting a Bug

Before submitting a bug report here, please make sure:

* that you're using the last version of BEEM

And have a look at the "bug list":http://dev.beem-project.com/projects/beem/issues?query_id=1 and the [[FAQ]] to see if it has not already been reported.

When filling a bug report, please give the following information with the description of your problem:

* your Android device
* your Android version
* your Beem version (pick the version number in the _Affected version_ field) and the exact revision (eg. r1142) if you're using repository code
* the error stack trace that you should find in the log file if your report is about an error. The message displayed by the app (eg. _...An error occurred when trying to connect..._) is useless here.

If you have access to an Android SDK, please give the stacktrace of the crash. You can obtain it by typing in a console when the phone is plugged on your computer : 
<pre>
$> adb logcat
</pre>
You can also use the application "alogcat":http://code.google.com/p/alogcat/ available on the Android Market.

The simplest way to get information about your Android version is :
Settings -> About Phone -> Model Number + Model Version.

h2. Submitting a Feature Request

Before submitting a feature request here, please make sure:

* fill the _subject_ as a sum up of your description
* fill the _description_ as detailed as you can, don't hesitate to describe precisely how this feature should behave, try to add what benefits you're excepting from it
* please *DON'T* fill the _target version_ field: let the developers decide when integrate
* please *DON'T* assign the feature request to anybody, let the developers deal with it

h2. Submitting a Wiki improvement

When you edit a wiki page to improve its content, make sure that you fill the _comment_ field with a descriptive summary of the changes you've made to the page. This way we'll be better able to "monitor" and "maintain" the quality of the actual wiki content.

h2. Submitting a Patch

* Changes should be submitted as a single patch file. Instructions for creating a patch using mercurial can be found [[How_to_generate_a_patch_file|here]].
* You should mention the branch/revision your patch is based on and attach it
