I would say in general any additions are welcome. Even if parts to not get merged for any reason, others will be able to find your patches in the archives of the list later. > I've been digging online and I can't find any guidelines on how to > submit a patch to Xenomai.

Such patches are the output of "git format-patch" and "git send-email". If you know how to use that, using it would help others to test and integrate your changes. However Philippe luckily does not enforce a too strict workflow here. So it might also be ok to send patches as attachments, but be warned that that makes reviews more difficult. So split your changes into multiple patches, where each patch addresses exactly one issue. And send these patches to the list, if you can use git or git compatible tools. > Any help would be appreciated and sorry if I missed this information > in a FAQ somewhere. I am not sure whether that is documented anywhere, i basically just told you how i did it so far and what i have seen since working on the project. But one of your changes could introduce such documentation ;).
