Hi Ulrich, I added a small document to SVN describing the usual way for contributions. I hope this will answer most of your questions regarding contributions. But as this was written down quite quickly, I might have missed some things.
We currently do not have an issue tracker, but I would love to have one.
SourceForge has a tracker feature (and a few people used it already). I am no
fan of these tracker though. I think they are slow and not very user friendly.
But, as we have nothing else, you can use these to report current problems and
mark them later as fixes, once your patches are in SVN.
Does anyone know any good issue tracking system we could use?
Best regards,
Dom
