If you want to help code the project, here are some general suggestions for where to begin:

• Read the code - Developers
• Start small
• Learn the build process and help improve it!
• Submit patches (and don't be discouraged if they are rejected or heavily modified)
• Work on an item on the Wishlist

When submitting patches, please use git format-patch to create patch files, or if working directly from a source file and not using git, use the unified diff format. See our Coding Style guidelines for more information.
