How to contribute
=================

Thank you so much for wanting to contribute to Guava! Here are a few important
things you should know about contributing:

1.  API changes require discussion, use cases, etc. Code comes later.
2.  Pull requests are great for small fixes for bugs, documentation, etc.
3.  Pull requests are not merged directly into the master branch.
4.  Code contributions require signing a Google CLA.

    Writer writer = new AppendableWriter(builder);

    writer.write("Hello".toCharArray());
    writer.write(',');
    writer.write(0xBEEF0020); // only lower 16 bits are important
    writer.write("Wo");
    writer.write("Whirled".toCharArray(), 3, 2);
    writer.write("Mad! Mad, I say", 2, 2);

    assertEquals("Hello, World!", builder.toString());

        a full-time Guava team member. [Feedback](https://stackoverflow.com/a/4543114) from our
        users indicates that they really appreciate Guava's high power-to-weight ratio. It's
        important to us to keep Guava as easy to use and understand as we can. That means boiling
        features down to compact but powerful abstractions, and controlling feature bloat carefully.
