This page will help you:
=== Weekly Developer Meetings ===
* Get the source,
* Get set up, and
* '''Get Involved!'''
 
== Get the Source ==
 
SUMO can be checked out of Subversion:
 
svn co https://svn.mozilla.org/projects/sumo/trunk sumo
 
You'll find three directories inside the <code>trunk</code> directory:
 
trunk/
  scripts/  -- Maintenance scripts and configuration files
  tests/    -- QA tests
  webroot/  -- The web app
 
== Get Set Up ==
 
We have detailed [[Support/SUMO_install_process|instructions]] for getting SUMO up and running.
 
=== Requirements ===
 
At a minimum, you'll need:
* [http://httpd.apache.org Apache] with [http://php.net/ PHP 5] (>=5.2 recommended)
* [http://www.mysql.com MySQL]
* [http://www.danga.com/memcached/ Memcached] (strongly recommended)
 
To work on the search system, you'll need [http://www.sphinxsearch.com/ Sphinx] (version 0.9.9-rc2 recommended).
 
== Get Involved ==
=== Development environment ===
* It's best to develop on a UNIX-based system. For example, our developers use Ubuntu or Fedora. See James Socol's [http://coffeeonthekeyboard.com/local-web-development-323/ post about his development environment for SUMO] or Paul Craciunoiu's [http://embrangler.com/2010/01/my-sumo-local-development-environment/ similar post]
* Checkout our source code:
<pre>
svn co https://svn.mozilla.org/projects/sumo/trunk/ sumo
</pre>
* Visit our wiki page for the install process: [[Support/SUMO_install_process]]
* Ask one of our team members for a copy of the database
 
=== Bug Triage Meetings ===


We meet for 30-60 minutes every Tuesday to evaluated our progress and make sure bugs are targeted to the right milestone. The meeting time is:

=== SUMOdev practices ===
==== How pushes work ====
* Only trunk/ is used.
* For a given milestone, we have a code freeze (no commits) for about a week after all bugs are fixed.
* Once all bugs are verified, we push the site live during a push window (usually Tuesdays or Thursdays)
==== Whiteboard strings ====
* runsql -- This bug has a SQL patch that needs to be run on production before/after code push.
* changepref -- At least one patch in this bug requires enabling/changing a preference
* Additional whiteboard strings related to tiki vs sumo bugs at [[Support/TikiUpstreamTriage#What]]
==== Commit policy ====
# With rare exceptions, always ask for review. Always post a patch, regardless. It may be acceptable to commit without review for e.g. string changes.
