== What are Bounties? ==


''Bounties are an opportunity to get a little bit [1] of money [2] while helping out the development of BoofCV and the community as a whole.''  Anyone can participate and if the task is accepted as completed you will get the bounty [3]!  Each bounty is broken up into two amounts, base and bonus.  The base is the amount you will receive no matter what if you complete the task.  The bonus is a variable amount that is decided based on the quality of the code and if it meet all the requirements.  Can't be bothered to write unit and/or regression tests?  Won't fix memory management issues that were pointed out? Expect a hit to the bonus.

* Adding new external libraries is discouraged and will need to be justified
* Code should minimize the creation of new memory and use a single thread


== Coding Suggestions ==
= Rules =


The following are strongly recommended suggestions for submitted code.  For the most part ignoring these suggestions will impact the bonus, but in extreme situations can result in code being rejected.  BoofCV is fast and small because it follows these practices.  If you're code is lacking it would be pointed out in the code review and you will be asked to fix it.
Effective as of January 3, 2017
 
* Use of existing internal functionality is highly encouraged
** Don't reinvent the wheel unless there is a good reason
** Ask if you don't know if that capability exists already!
* Adding new external libraries is discouraged and will need to be justified
** We like to keep BoofCV as small as possible
** Getting external developers to fix bugs or accept patches is often a tedious procedure and slows down development
* Code should minimize the creation of new memory and should recycle memory as much as possible
** Ask for examples if you aren't sure how to do this

What are Bounties?

Bounties are an opportunity to get a little bit [1] of money while helping out the development of BoofCV and the community as a whole. Anyone can participate [2] and if the submission is accepted your work will be added to BoofCV and you will get the bounty! Each bounty is broken up into two amounts, base and bonus. The base is the amount you will receive no matter what if you submission is accepted. The bonus is a variable amount that is decided based on the submission's overall quality and how well it meets all the requirements.

It's advised that you publicly announce on BoofCV's message board that you're working on a bounty and provide a link to your project page. This is a collaboration not a competition in the end! Feel free to place comments in the bounty's Google Doc description for clarifications.

Submission Process
  1. Select bounty from list and read rules
  2. (Suggested) Announce intent to work on bounty
  3. Write code or complete non-coding task for bounty
  4. Submit work for review
  5. Fix issues found during the review and resubmit
  6. If accepted:
