The Developer's Sandbox
Occasionally referred to as a poster-child of the open-source
development model, the HylaFAX™ developer community is always
looking for new recruits. Don't be scared, you're welcome to lurk
until you feel comfortable! If you're looking to become involved on
any level, you should definitely subscribe to to the
hylafax developers mailing list.
| Please note. |
| The HylaFAX™ developers list is a subscriber-only list. You must
subscribe first before posting. |
Reporting Bugs
Faithful to our open-source bias, HylaFAX™ bugs are tracked
using Bugzilla, a product of the Mozilla Project.
Please do your best to make sure you've really found a bug, and then
file it on the HylaFAX™ Bugzilla, located at:
http://bugs.hylafax.org/
To confirm a bug one should first check the mailing list archives for other reports
of this issue (and possible resolution) and then post to the
developers mailing list (described above).
Security-related bugs should be reported to
security@hylafax.org
in order to avoid exploitation of the problem before it can be publicly resolved.
CVS
HylaFAX™ development is controlled by CVS. Read-access is open
to all, although write access is not. Unless you're doing a large
amount of coding, it is suggested that you post proposed patches and
explanations of them on the hylafax-devel mailing list.
