Contribute
----------

To contribute a module, make sure it uses one of the Module classes. Most modules
use IntervalModule, which just calls a function repeatedly in a specified interval.

The output attribute should be set to a dictionary which represents your modules output,
the protocol is documented `here <http://i3wm.org/docs/i3bar-protocol.html>`_.

To update this readme run ``python -m i3pystatus.mkdocs`` in the
repository root and you're done :)

Developer documentation is available in the source code and `here
<http://i3pystatus.readthedocs.org/en/latest/>`_.

**Patches and pull requests are very welcome :-)**
