Patch submissions are welcome. Fixes or minor additions will generally be accepted (perhaps with some feedback). Major changes or additions may need discussion. The best way is probably by submitting a pull request on github. In short, you create a github fork of POX, make you modifications, and then click "Pull Request". See: https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests Alternatively, you can send diffs to the mailing list. A good way to do this is using the "git diff" or "git format-patch" commands. I think the easy way to do this is to make your changes locally, commit them, and then do "git format-patch origin/betta" (or whatever upstream branch you're using). You'll get a diff file for every local commit, which you can send to the mailing list. https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-format-patch.html Or you can always just use the "diff" command, though this is probably the most difficult. -- Murphy
