Hi all; The question has been brought up to me what role that non-core team individuals have in contributing to LedgerSMB. I am going to suggest that people consider this email when deciding how to contribute.
There are a surprising number of non-core contributions-- see the CONTRIBUTORS file in the distribution. These range from minor contributions to more major additions. Most offered contributions have been accepted. Those that have not been accepted were generally partial solutions and we did not have time to implement the whole thing at the moment. In general, anyone can submit a patch of an size using Sourceforge's patch tracking interface. Someone with commit rights can then commit the patch to our source repository. Those individuals who swamp us with good quality patches may be given commit priveleges. In general, if you want your work to be accepted, the best thing to do is vet ideas on the -devel list before you start and while you work. This helps avoid problems as the ideas get peer review. Workflow and usability ideas should be vetted on -users. Other offers for donations of effort relating to infrastructure can be made by sending an email to any of the core members. If unsure, just email the -devel list :-). If you are a developer wishing to get your changes accepted upstream, following these guidelines will help ensure that the changes do make it into the codebase. If you are hiring a developer to add features, having the developer follow these guidelines will be helpful.
