Is there a how-to contribute to core for the impatient?
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 ? -- Ivan Sergio Borgonovo http://www.webthatworks.it
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

Apart from those two links, this will help you a lot: http://drupal.org/project/issues?projects=3060&assigned=patchnewbie This is a listing of all Drupal 6 issues that are assigned to "patchnewbie". This is a special queue for users who are just starting to get into core development and patching. Thanks for the interest, and good luck! Wim Quoting Ivan Sergio Borgonovo <mail@webthatworks.it>:
