1.6 Contributing

This program is a collaborative effort and we encourage contributions from anyone and everyone — your help is very much appreciated. You can help in many ways:

• Donate to developers in order to support their work. See Donating.
• Write documentation. We are specially in need to complete the CCD sheet format specification.
• Help users in the mailing list and IRC channel.
• Find and report bugs. See Bug reporting.
• Fix reported bugs.
• Implement new feature ideas.
• Write test cases.
• Check the documentation against the implementation.
• Translate the program strings to other languages.

You can join the development team to contribute code and documentation at the development page. Patches are most welcome, but contributed code should follow the GNU Coding Standards. If it doesn’t, we’ll need to find someone to fix the code before we can use it. It is also necessary that the contributor be willing to assign their copyright to the FSF, since the developers plan to make it officially part of the GNU operating system and they want FSF to enforce the program’s license.
