7.2 Making Contributions

Contributions are heartily welcomed. The best way to get to know the developers and really get involved is submit patches that fix bugs or add features. Other work such as writing or revising documentation would also naturally be appreciated. Patches can generally be sent to us through Trac or the mailing list. Write access to the subversion repository can be given to contributors who have proved their reliability.
