How to contribute?

Hi,

I would like to make some code change to org-mode. I followed the
instruction on http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html#patches, but I
got stuck at the first step.

I send my RSA public key, to the system, but I never got a response.

What is the preferred public key specification?


Thanks,
David

Thanks in advance for your contributions and welcome!

The system is a human being (me).  :)

I suggest you submit a few patches on the mailing list first,
then Nicolas or other core committers can review and apply them.

When everyone is confident about giving you direct write access,
I add your key.

In the meantime I gave you access to worg, which you can now clone
like this:

~$ git clone orgmode@orgmode.org:org-mode.git

... then commit, and push.

Thanks!

Hi Bastien,

I'm also thinking of contributing to orgmode, so my question is - is
there any publicly available contributing guide, being SPOT for
newcomers?

Thanks

We have this page: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html

In general, clone the org-mode repository like this:
~$ git clone git://orgmode.org/org-mode.git

edit, commit on your branch, create patches with format-patch,
then share patches with the list.

When comfortable enough with contributing regularily, send over
your public key and I'll give you write access to the repository.

Thanks!

http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html

If you think anything is missing or needs better explanation, make that
your first contribution!
