Backbone.js is an open source project that has been developed by a strong community. In this recipe, we are going to speak about things that will help you became a part of this community and improve Backbone.js.
Let's follow the ensuing steps to make Backbone.js better:
If you found a bug in Backbone.js or want a new feature to be implemented, you can submit your issue to the issue queue at https://github.com/documentcloud/backbone/issues. Before doing this, make sure there is no similar issue; otherwise, you can update the existing issue queue.
You can submit your own code to the Backbone project. Such a contribution can be very helpful to the community and the project itself.
By using Backbone, you save your own time. By contributing to the project, you save the time of other developers who use it and your own time in the future instead of having to work on the same issue again.
Detailed guidelines for the code contributing process can be found on the wiki page at https://github.com/documentcloud/backbone/wiki/Contributing-to-Backbone.
Work on the documentation of Backbone.js.
The official documentation, which is located at http://backbonejs.org, is based on a recent version of Backbone.js in the GitHub repository. You can improve the documentation by either updating the index.html file or the docs directory. If you want to add a new example, use the examples folder.
