Below are some notes for a developer interested in contributing to the code base.
##Development Environment: The easiest way to get started is with Vagrant.
Deploy your development virtual machine:
$ vagrant up
This will provision your VM (using puppet) with a postgresql database (citadel_test) and a role (username citadel_test, password abcdefghijklmnop) to get going. Your host directory will now map to the Virtual Machine's /vagrant directory.
##Testing: If you're using Vagrant, ssh into your virtual machine, enter your python virtualenv, and run tests:
$ vagrant ssh
$ source /vagrant/env/bin/activate
$ pip install -r /vagrant/requirements.txt
$ python /vagrant/runtests.py
##Continuous Integration: All Django test cases are automatically tested upon push to github by Travis CI. Please ensure your commit passes testing prior to issuing a pull request.
