How To Contribute
-------------------------
Glad you asked! ThatCloud is based on the [Git flow](http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/) development model, so to contribute, please make sure that you follow the git flow branching methodology.

Currently ThatCloud supports iOS6 on iPads. Make sure that your code runs in both the simulator and on an actual device for this environment.

1. ThatCloudAppDelegate registers incoming actions and provides their handlers.
2. FilePreviewViewController enables the file preview view to transmit content to other Ink enabled apps.
Once you have your feature, improvement, or bugfix, submit a pull request, and we'll take a look and merge it in. We're very encouraging of adding new owners to the repo, so if after a few pull requests you want admin access, let us know.

Every other Thursday, we cut a release branch off of develop, build the app, and submit it to the iOS App Store.

If you're looking for something to work on, take a look in the list of issues for this repository. And in your pull request, be sure to add yourself to the readme and authors file as a contributor.

What are the "That" Apps?
=============================
-------------------------

To demonstrate the power Ink mobile framework, Ink created the "ThatApp" suite of sample apps. Along with ThatCloud, there is also ThatInbox for reading your mail, ThatPDF for editing your documents and ThatPhoto for tweaking your photos. But we want the apps to do more than just showcase the Ink Mobile Framework. That's why we're releasing the apps open source.

As iOS developers we leverage an incredible amount of software created by the community. By releasing these apps, we hope we can make small contribution back. Here's what you can do with these apps:

1. Use them!

They are your aps, and you should be able to do with them what you want. Skin it, fix it, tweak it, improve it. Once you're done, send us a pull request. We build and submit to the app store every other week on Thursdays.

2. Get your code to the app store

All of our sample apps are currently in the App store. Developers learning iOS can get their code in the app store without having to write an entire app. They only need to send a pull request.

3. Support other iOS Framework companies

The sample apps are a place where other framework companies can integrate their product to show it off to the world, or simply a place to demonstrate integration strategies to your customers.
If you are building iOS developer tools, these apps are a place where you can integrate your product and show it off to the world. They can also serve to demonstrate different integration strategies to your customers.

4. Evaluate potential hires

Want to interview an iOS developer? Test their chops by asking them to add a feature or two a real world app.
