1. This blog post by Joe Gibbs Politz helped me tremendously the first time:
http://blog.racket-lang.org/2012/11/tutorial-contributing-to-racket.html Note: I think it _might_ need some small updates in light of the new reorganization of the source into packages. In some cases the instructions will be simpler (e.g., just plain `make' suffices to configure and build, IIUC.) 2. One aspect that remained unclear to me was a good way to stay in sync with the upstream project, so I wrote a blog post about that: http://www.greghendershott.com/2013/04/a-guide-for-infrequent-contributors-to-racket.html 3. There's a wiki page here: https://github.com/plt/racket/wiki It would probably be good if that had a link to Joe's post? ____________________ Racket Users list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/users
