Contributions via GitHub pull requests are gladly accepted from their original author. Along with any pull requests, please state that the contribution is your original work and that you license the work to the project under the project's open source license. Whether or not you state this explicitly, by submitting any copyrighted material via pull request, email, or other means you agree to license the material under the project's open source license and warrant that you have the legal authority to do so. ## Contributing
The project is in maintenance mode, meaning, changes are driven by contributed patches.
There is otherwise no active development or roadmap for this project. It is "DIY".
Only proposed changes in the form of a pull request are likely to be acted on, but,
these will be acted on promptly.
### Questions
Questions should be asked on the mailing list:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/zxing
### Feature Requests
Feature requests are generally not accepted and may be closed if nobody acts on them.
Feature requests with a pull request may be accepted. When in doubt, discuss on the
mailing list first.
### Bug Reports
Bug reports must have enough detail to understand and reproduce the problem. Inadequate
bug reports will be closed with a request for more information.
Bug reports without an associated pull request are not likely to be addressed, but will be
left open for some time to see if anyone can contribute a solution. However, bug reports
with a pull request are likely to be merged promptly.

Along with any pull requests, please state that the contribution is your original work and
that you license the work to the project under the project's open source license.
