Make some magic happen! Remember to:
* Adhere to conventions.
* Update CHANGELOG with a detailed description of your work.
* Include tests, and ensure they pass.
* Remember to check to see if your new functionality has an impact on our Documentation, and include updates as appropriate.
Completing these steps will increase the chances of your code making it into **[Discourse/Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/discourse)**.
* Adhere to common conventions you see in the existing code
* Include tests, and ensure they pass
* Search to see if your new functionality has been discussed on [the Discourse meta forum](http://meta.discourse.org), and include updates as appropriate
4. Follow the Coding Conventions
* two spaces, no tabs
* no trailing whitespaces, blank lines should have no spaces
* use spaces around operators, after commas, colons, semicolons, around `{` and before `}`
* no space after `(`, `[` or before `]`, `)`
* use Ruby 1.9 hash syntax: prefer `{ a: 1 }` over `{ :a => 1 }`
* prefer `class << self; def method; end` over `def class.method` for class methods
* prefer `{ ... }` over `do ... end` for single-line blocks, avoid using `{ ... }` for multi-line blocks
* avoid `return` when not required
