Contributors
------------
A list of all contributors can be found in `CONTRIBUTORS
<https://github.com/enkore/i3pystatus/blob/master/CONTRIBUTORS>`_, but git
likely has more up-to-date information. i3pystatus was initially written by Jan
Oliver Oelerich and later ported to Python 3 and mostly rewritten by enkore.
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
module's output, the protocol is documented `here
<http://i3wm.org/docs/i3bar-protocol.html>`_.
Developer documentation is available in the source code and `here
<https://i3pystatus.readthedocs.io/en/latest/module.html>`_.
