##Exchange EWS Provider

=====================

Thank you for checking out Ericsson's Exchange EWS Provider. Ericsson and the Ericsson QA team are grateful for the help and hard work of many [contributors][contributors] like yourself.



Current Release Vs. Download trend is something like [this](https://rawgit.com/muthusuba/github-tools/master/downloads-trend.html?user=Ericsson&repo=exchangecalendar)



Getting involved as a contributor

------------------------------------------

We love working with contributors for Exchange EWS Provider, but it does require a few skills. You will need to know some Javascript, XUL, some CSS and a basic familiarity with GitHub.



If you know some Javascript, it's worth having a look at the Object Oriented Programming to understand the basic concepts of class based coding and especially for xul window objects. 



If you need to brush-up on programming, but are eager to start contributing immediately, please consider helping us find bugs in Github [Exchange EWS Provider][Exchange EWS Provider] or find bugs in the Issues tested by the [EricssonQA][EricssonQA] team. To brush up on Javascript skills before engaging with us, Dive Into Javascript [mozilla][mozilla] is an excellent resource. W3schools also has [notes on Javascript][w3schools] available through their website.  The programming concepts you will need to know include functions, working with classes, and some object-oriented programming basics. To brush up on XUL, Mozilla [XUL][XUL] is an easy and simple place to learn XUL, More of XUL are dynamically configured and cross-plateform.



Special thanks to all our [contributors][contributors]

### Installing developement tools

You will need to install Dom Inspector, Javascript Debugger and some other development tools. Fortunately `Thunderbird addons` makes it easy to install all of these:
