Programming

Anyone that wants to get involved with GISKismet should have some experience with programming. Hopefully, programming in Perl. This experience isn't required since Perl is similar to other languages like Ruby, Python and PHP.

To create a patch for GISKismet make sure that you have latest version from subversion. A patch can be created using:

 svn update
 svn diff > name-of-feature.patch

All patches can be submitted via email to: jabra [aT] - spl0it [-dot-] org

Style

All patches should conform to the Perl Best Practices guidelines. If you are unsure about what that means use perltidy and the following perltidyrc file:

 wget http://spl0it.org/files/perltidyrc
 mv perltidyrc ~/.perltidyrc

Now you will be able to verify that your code conforms to the Perl Best Practices via running perltidy on any files that you would like to change.

 perltidy -b giskismet

Using perltidy -b will create backup file in .bak.
