Beginner friendly open source android application. The main mission of this project is to provide android enthusiast with a platform where they can advance their skills in most popular libraries and design concepts. You may wonder - why we chose a weather app? The answer is simple - it turns out that weather application can cover just about every topic of modern android development.
(Note: We don't have an app on Google Play yet, this is just a representative picture for your liking..)

Q - I found a bug and I can't (or don’t want to) fix it, how can I add it to the issues list?
A - Check the issues list and see if it already has that bug. If not, submit a new issue with the "bug" label
Q - I found a bug and I want to fix it, is it ok if I just do that and make a pull request?
A - No, it's not ok. Before attempting to do any work it is highly recommended that you check with the current issues list. It might happen, that there is already a similar issue, and even someone already working on it (assigned to it).
Q - There is no issue for the bug that I found and want to fix, what should I do?
A - It is recommended that you submit a new issue, get that issue assigned on you, and then work on it. Just write a comment under the corresponding issue s.a. "..I would like to work on this issue.." However, if the amount of expected work is relatively small (< 1 day), you can simply fix the bug and make a pull request right away.
Q - I want to work on an issue, can I work on it right away?
A - It's recommended that you leave a comment below that issue, and ask the community to assign it to you.
