| − | Develop Patches and Packages
| |

| − | The most obvious way, for programmers, to participate in the development of SMESERVER is to post a patch as a suggested solution to an existing bug in Bugzilla. Each package has a maintainer, who will contact you to discuss your proposed solution. You may want to join one of our development mailing lists before you start coding in order to discuss your plans and coordinate with other developers.
