This page contains information about how to get your bugfixes into TYPO3.
- You can just go ahead and pick a bug from the bugtracker.
- Start hacking and fix the problem.
- Once done, you can create a patch and upload it to the bugtracker. Make sure to mark the checkbox "has patch" so that other developers can easily see that there is a patch attached.
- Since you might want to get some feedback from other people, it could be useful to send a request for comments to the bugs team list.
TYPO3 is known to be extremely stable. This requires a few rules to assure that we won't loose stability by fixing bugs "the wrong way":
- First, please help to prevent obvious bugs and use the "comment" feature of the bugtracker to get in touch with other people who are having the same problem. Try to get as much feedback as possible. Meanwhile, do not hesistate to publish the patch in case nobody was willing to help. Just follow to the next step then.
- CVS access is write-protected for everybody except the core team members.
- Every patch must be reviewed by two members of the core team. This should prevent bugs and misconceptions to get into CVS. You can get in touch with them via the bug team list where most core team members are subscribed to.
