The Mo-Factor App
=================

In the spirit of [Twelve-Factor Apps](http://www.12factor.net/), this is a list of concrete things that you can do to make your software better. Some of it overlaps with Twelve-Factor Apps, but it's all good.

Uses git/Github
---------------



Has a README.md file
--------------------

The README.md should answer common questions like:

* What does your software do? Is it an application? A library?
* How do I install and run your software? What are the prerequisites? What operating systems does it run on?
* How do I change the configuration of your software? What is the API for your software? Provide examples, as well as a reference. For larger software packages, you may need to move this documentation somewhere else. If do you, then link to it from here.
* Where is the community around this software? List IRC channels, mailing lists, issue trackers, code repositories, etc.
* How do I contribute code? You should just link to your CONTRIBUTING.md file.

Has a CONTRIBUTING.md file
--------------------------



Has a LICENSE.txt file
----------------------



Has a CONTRIBUTORS.txt file
---------------------------



Has an IRC commit notification bot
----------------------------------



Has continuous integration
--------------------------



Has a Procfile
--------------

A [Procfile](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/procfile) in the root of the repository allows for easy deployment of your software on Heroku. We can use Heroku for development since it's free for one web process, 

Has a git mirror
----------------

In the event that Github goes down, it's always nice to have a backup so you can keep working. Fortunately, Mozilla already provides one for us: [http://gitmirror.mozilla.org/](http://gitmirror.mozilla.org/). Mirror setup instructions are located at [https://intranet.mozilla.org/Git](https://intranet.mozilla.org/Git).
