Calling All Developers!

If you're reading this news entry, you're probably a user of HTML Purifier. In fact, it wouldn't be too far fetched to say you're a power user of HTML Purifier. In fact, you probably know the ins-and-outs of the HTMLPurifier class, have used HTML Purifier for multiple projects, and, doubtless, have some gripes about HTML Purifier.

Well, now is the chance to let those latent feature requests, complaints of poor documentation, and gotcha's be heard. We gave you the source; it is time for you to use it.

Today, we have launched a new forum, the “Internals” forum. This is the place for anyone interested in playing a part in HTML Purifier's open source development process; to display prototypes of new features, to discuss HTML Purifier's support of the upcoming versions of HTML, to ask for questions regarding internal components, and much more. If you've ever modified a portion of HTML Purifier's core code, or created an extension to it, dust it off and show it to the world. We've migrated to Git, so you can fork the main project, develop your new feature, and hopefully get it integrated back into the mainline.

If you've never looked at HTML Purifier's source before, now is the time to start. This document on contributing will give you inside tips and tricks to getting started developing HTML Purifier.

Thanks for reading! We look forward to seeing your contributions.
