Suggestion of new functionalities

Please, send us suggestions of new features to be added to FESTIval. We will certainly appreciate it.

We recommend that you send us your suggestion by answering the following questions:

• Why the new feature is important?
• What the new feature should do?
• How the new feature should work? (if you have some tips, they will help us to consider your suggestion)

Development of code

Code contributions are welcome. They should include the following information:

• Documentation on functions.
• If the code is the correction of an existing functionality, please indicate test cases that support your code.
• Updates on the documentation, if needed.

We will then analyze your contribution and add a corresponding license header, if the change is accepted.
