Thanks for taking the time to contribute to websockets!


Code of Conduct
===============

This project and everyone participating in it is governed by the Code
of Conduct. By participating, you are expected to uphold this code.
Please report inappropriate behavior to aymeric DOT augustin AT
fractalideas DOT com.

*(If I'm the person with the inappropriate behavior, please accept my
apologies. I know I can mess up. I can't expect you to tell me, but if
you choose to do so, I'll do my best to handle criticism
constructively. -- Aymeric)*


Contributions
=============

Bug reports, patches and suggestions are welcome!

Please open an issue or send a pull request.

Feedback about the documentation is especially valuable — the authors
of "websockets" feel more confident about writing code than writing
docs :-)

If you're wondering why things are done in a certain way, the design
document provides lots of details about the internals of websockets.


Questions
=========

GitHub issues aren't a good medium for handling questions. There are
better places to ask questions, for example Stack Overflow.

If you want to ask a question anyway, please make sure that:

* it's a question about "websockets" and not about "asyncio";

* it isn't answered by the documentation;

* it wasn't asked already.

A good question can be written as a suggestion to improve the
documentation.


Bitcoin users
=============

websockets appears to be quite popular for interfacing with Bitcoin or
other cryptocurrency trackers. I'm strongly opposed to Bitcoin's
carbon footprint.

I'm aware of efforts to build proof-of-stake models. I'll care once
the total carbon footprint of all cryptocurrencies drops to a non-
bullshit level.

Please stop heating the planet where my children are supposed to live,
thanks.

Since "websockets" is released under an open-source license, you can
use it for any purpose you like. However, I won't spend any of my time
to help.

I will summarily close issues related to Bitcoin or cryptocurrency in
any way.
