If you head to the handbook[1] or go to the patch spotlight page[2] there are links to what you are asking for. Here's a quick rundown.
- build up a testing environment http://drupal.org/node/28245
- checkout HEAD d6 http://drupal.org/node/320
- apply proposed patches in issues http://drupal.org/node/60108 http://drupal.org/node/132745 (a video)
- write/correct patches http://drupal.org/patch http://drupal.org/patch/create
- coding standards http://drupal.org/node/318
Welcome and happy testing. Matt [1] http://drupal.org/handbook [2] http://drupal.org/patch/spotlight Quoting Ivan Sergio Borgonovo <mail@webthatworks.it>:
I'd like to contribute to core or at least test some of the patches, check issues etc... for pg, and if I'm lucky enough propose some patch too.
I can think of this bunch of activities/knowledge I should have before I can contribute to core: - build up a testing environment - checkout HEAD d6 - apply proposed patches in issues - write/correct patches - coding standards
Anything to add to this: http://drupal.org/node/28245 and http://drupal.org/coding-standards ?
