Franck Magnan	Saturday 12 February 2011 2:58:37 am Hello guys, I'm using eZ Publish for a while and I want to know the best way to contribute. I'm knowing that eZ Publish is on SVN and GitHub but I don't know which version is up to date. Then, I'm not a member of the developers team so I think I can't commit directly my modifications. So, does anybody give me advices or a kind of recipe to contribute? thanks in advance -- Developer at Open Wide
Bertrand Dunogier	Saturday 12 February 2011 3:50:41 am Only eZ Systems employees are allowed direct commits to the repository. Fortunately, github makes it quite easy to fork the repository, write a change on your own fork, and offer us to pull your change for integration in the official repository. You can get started with this doc: http://help.github.com/forking/ and our github repository, https://github.com/ezsystems/ezpublish. We have a big focus for the next month on how the community and the company can interact in the most beneficial way, and it is a pleasure to read such questions ! Do not hesitate to ask for more informations if necessary. About coding standards, our current basis are the eZ Components one: http://ezcomponents.org/contributing/coding_standards. We will publish a consolidated version of these as well, but they're a very good starting point.

Franck Magnan	Saturday 12 February 2011 4:17:06 am Thank you very much for your link about forking project. I used to clone eZ Publish project from GitHub in eclipse workspace (with eGit plugin) but I did not know how to process after the cloning action. I will try the forking action and I will tell you if I succeed or if I need help -- Developer at Open Wide
Franck Magnan	Saturday 12 February 2011 6:05:49 am Hello Bertrand, I have forked the eZ Publish project on GitHub. Then, I modified the feedback_form templates because it displayed only email, subject and message fields. So, if we want to add a field to the feedback form, this field is not display until we override feedback_form template. I modified it to display all information collector fields. when everything was OK, I commited my changes and push them to my fork project now, do I have something to do to warn eZ team about these changes? may my changes are too small? Do I have to wait lot of changes before push them? Do I have to commit as soon as possible? Thanks for your time -- Developer at Open Wide
