Requesting a feature¶
You may be needing a feature that is not yet present in Cahute, but you feel is within its scope. In this case, the steps are the following:
Go to the project’s issue tracker at Gitlab;
Check if your feature has not already been requested. If it has, but it is lacking some of the details you have in mind, it is best to contribute on it directly, which may provide it a higher priority as suggests it is more requested;
Otherwise, create an issue, while providing as many details as you can on the use case(s) of the given feature.
Warning
In order to comment or create an issue, you will be required to have a Gitlab.com account. If you do not yet have one, you must sign up on Gitlab.com to continue.
Warning
Once your feature request is up or sent, please check on it every few weeks at least, in order to be able to answer questions regarding it.
A feature request made by someone who can’t answer once additional details are required from them is a feature request that gets closed and has wasted everyone’s time and efforts.
Warning
Cahute is free software maintained by people on their free time, there is no guarantee of any delay, or even of a response or that the request won’t be closed due to lack of availability on the maintainers’ part.
Note however that this warning is worst case scenario, and hopefully, it won’t come to that for any correctly made feature request.
