#### About Pull Requests

Send your Pull Requests to devel-x branch first. Then "Masscollabs core team" will analyze the code/information that you have sent.

#### About Merging Source Code

1. Next stage is we'll merge devel-x source code/information with master-x branch; this is a release stage.
2. Then the next stage is testing the source code/information and merging the source code/information with stable-x branch

#### Preferred Github Account Settings for "core team"

#### Your Account should have the following features when commiting

1. SSH key
2. GPG key
3. 2 Factor Authentication
4. Personal access token for one time commit passphrase

#### For other contributers when commiting

You may send your Pull Request from Github web page, or from command line without GPG signed commit, 2 Factor Authentication and Personal access token 

#### Account Privacy of members

You always have the right not to declare yourself as a public member; you can always be a private member.

#### Code distribution rules

Masscollabs never puts source code/information into master-x branches without security testing and correcting the information. Test twice your code and information and then send your pull request to all branches (devel-x , master-x and stable-x). Masscollabs plays, fixes, tries, makes.
