FAQs

State hasn't been released for very long, not nearly long enough for anything to be asked frequently.

General

Who do I complain to? Who's responsible for this?

You can reach me, Jacob Lewallen, by e-mailing me at . Please try and be specific, and calm. State also has a mailing list that you can subscribe to and discuss things on. You may subscribe to the mailing list at https://www.cs.ucr.edu/mailman/listinfo/state-dev/

How do I contribute?

If you have an idea for a feature or have found a bug, you can begin by contributing a patch either to Jacob or the State mailing list. Otherwise, just join the mailing list and ask for something to do! I'm sure we can find something to put you to work on. Even if you can't program there are things to do. As you can see, even this documentation is a lacking in attention.
