Hi Isaac,

Please check out the JDS project pages at opensolaris.org:

 - http://opensolaris.org/os/project/jds/contributing/building/
   describes how to access and build the code

 - feel free to ask questions @desktop-discuss if you need help

 - once you have a fix (typically a source diff + spec files
   changes that add the diff to the build), follow this process:
   http://opensolaris.org/os/project/jds/documents/code_review/
   to get it reviewed.

 - any current contributor can put back your changes, or you
   can do it yourself by following this process:
   http://opensolaris.org/os/project/jds/documents/requesting_svn_account/

 - if the bug is in GNOME community code, it will have to be submitted
   upstream and the bugid recorded in the JDS spec files
   as described here:
   http://opensolaris.org/os/project/jds/documents/patch_comments/

Hope this helps,
Laca
