# Write Javadocs
We require contributors to include Javadocs for all new methods and classes submitted via PRs (after 1 May 2018). This is aimed at making it easier for new contributors to dive into our codebase, especially those who are new to Android development. A few things to note:
- This should not replace the need for code that is easily-readable in and of itself
- Please make sure that your Javadocs are reasonably descriptive, not just a copy of the method name
- Please do not use `@author` tags - we aim for collective code ownership, and if needed, GitHub allows us to see who wrote something without needing to add these tags
# Write tests for your code (if possible)
# Make sure the Wiki pages don't become stale by updating them (if needed)
