Core Issues Helper

Core Issues Helper

This module is meant to make it easier for people to contribute to core issues.
It provides various submodules, each one specific to different issue(s).

The process roughly looks like this:

• The person that has provided a pull request for a core issue can contribute to
  this project here, by creating a new submodule. (todo: add instructions for
  that + also a template submodule scaffold)
• The submodule is then reviewed/approved by the maintainers of this here
  project (anyone can join to help out - even the person that is submitting the
  submodule for review), and a new release for the Core Issue Helper module is
  created.
• People that want to contribute by testing pull requests can then:
  
  • Install the Core Issue Helper module either in a demo sandbox
    or on their local environment.
  • Enable the submodule that corresponds to the issue they are contributing to.
  • Also install the module and submodule(s) on the sandbox of the pull request
    of the issue they are contributing to.
  • Compare the output/behavior of the submodule in the current version of
    Backdrop core vs. the version in the pull request sandbox (which includes
    the changes that are meant to be fixing the issue).
  • Provide feedback on whether they have found the problem for which the
    respective issue was created for to be fixed by the changes in the pull
    request or not.
  • Gain the eternal gratitude of everyone in the Backdrop community! ❤️

Each submodule is named issue_1234, where 1234 is the issue number of the
core issue the module is
meant to help testing.

Requirements

None specific, but depending on the core issue some submodules may have
dependencies on other modules.
