Hi, Matt, It will be great to have your contribution! I might be in the minority, but I personally prefer a simple git-formatted patch attached to JIRA. github pull requests would be nice if it were the main repo, and that you didn't mind the resultant merges. (I think it is a bit ugly.) To get the git formatted patch, you would commit to your local repository, and issue 'git format-patch' with appropriate arguments. For example, if you want to get the patches for the latest N commits, you'd say: git format-patch -# (where # is the number of commits). I hope this helps. Hiro
