Contributing Code

The preferred way to receive code changes is by publishing your git repo and telling DanDennedy or the mailing list whenever you have something new or have updated something worthy of notice.

Otherwise, send patches to the mailing list. All patches must be in the unified diff format. Short patches can be in the body of the message. Long patches should be attached. Use your best judgment.

Make sure code submissions conform to the Style Guide and Copyright Policy.
