## Development

For developing new features, write a Ticket, so others know what you are doing. For development create a fork, and use the test as base. Create a Pull request for each fix. Do not create big pull requests, as long as you don't break anything features also can be merged, even if they are not 100% finished.. To report a problem send an email to the same address [possible with the error log and/or with a photo].



See [GitHub:writernote](http://github.com/giacomogroppi/writernote-qt) for current development.
