How do I contribute
Permalink
I'm a php developer and have contributed to open-source for quite a while now. I would like to be able to contribute to c5 (patches, new features, etc), but I don't see any type of developers only forum/list or even a public svn/cvs repository.
How do we go about doing this? Am I just missing something? I'd rather now code against a download as it makes it much more difficult to create patches and merge changes, etc.
I've got a sourceforge account [https://sourceforge.net/users/killroyboy/], so that would be ideal, but it doesn't really matter.

Ok, I can do that, but it's quite a bit less effective than having an svn repository to checkout the code.
Copying a release package lends itself to all kinds of problems. What about merging problems, most recent updates, etc? What happens if I go to work on a features/bug and someone has already fixed it (or completely rewritten the area of code I'm changing)?
Providing a read-only repository actually reduces work for the core guys because the other developers handle their own merging, etc.
Please consider providing a decent way for us to contribute. It will only help grow the concrete5 community.

you're right.
we're working fast and furious on things right now so its a bit hard finding the time to make what you're asking happen.
we're certainly hoping be on a more relaxed schedule in the new year. We do recognize it'd be awfully nice to have what you say.

I second that approach. It's not very difficult (or costly) to setup a simple subversion repository.
on the right side of the bug tracker are instructions on how to bundle up a patch for us, and code style guidelines..
