Looking for a Lazy Consensus to take information from https://mahout.apache.org/developers/patch-check-list.html
and create a pull request template as described in https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-pull-request-template-for-your-repository/ What will happen then is when you open a PR on github, the message will prefill to something like: -------------- **Purpose of PR:** Please mark each with an "x" - [ ] A JIRA ticket exists (if not, please create this first) - [ ] Title of PR is "MAHOUT-XXXX Breif Description of Changes" where XXXX is the JIRA number. - [ ] Created unit tests where appropriate - [ ] Added licenses correct on newly added files - [ ] Assigned JIRA to self - [ ] Added documentation in scala docs/java docs, (and website once that is merged to dev) - [ ] Successfully built and ran all unit tests, verified that all tests pass locally. - [ ] Updated the CHANGELOG file. Give proper credit to the authors. If all of these things aren't complete, but you still feel it is appropriate to open a PR, please add [WIP] after MAHOUT-XXXX before the descriptions- e.g. "MAHOUT-XXXX [WIP] Description of Change" -------------- FYI, in markdown - [ ] is an empty check box, - [x] is a checked-checkbox. The idea is the person creating the PR will mark all of those check boxes. This is just a friendly reminder to the user to make sure to have done all of these things, and will help with reviews.
