Sure! :-)

Feel free to send your questions to the list. Even better, join
[email protected] and ask your dev questions there. You may also
find some answers to your questions in the DEVELOPMENT doc in the root of
the source tree. Nobody here is an expert with git but we should be able to
answer your questions.

This is pretty simple. Just make your changes to the source files and save
them. Then type

$ git diff > patchfile

You can submit your patches directly to Sourceforge at
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=612&atid=300612 or you can send
your patch to the dev list.  If you make lots of commits, you can request
write access to the repo with an email to the dev list.

Hope that helps, and thanks for your forthcoming contributions!
David
