app->pages: puts all your pages files here;
app->pages->components: sometimes,there are some html element that could be reused more than once, define a component, place the file here and you can include your components in your pages.
app->cases: holds your testcase files;
app->cases->shared: Image that, you are testing a system which need to login before any actions, so you want to define a login function which can be called from your cases. Define reused cases here.

Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed yet.
Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't requested it and/or contributed it.
Fork the project.
Start a feature/bugfix branch.
Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution.
Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
