I have the tooledit widget working as I like. This is the first time I 
have wanted to publish my work on the project. What is the appropriate 
method for me publishing the modified files?

I have been reading the section on contributing to linuxcnc but I am a 
bit confused at this point. Do I make my modifications in a fork of the 
linuxcnc project under my username, or do I make the modifications in a 
branch within the linuxcnc project?

I have already forked linuxcnc to my username. I have cloned the fork to 
my machine. Modified the files on my machine. Built a RIP linuxcnc based 
on the modified code. Ran the runtest command on the new build with no 
errors. Tested the functionality and It is working as I was wanting.

I believe the next step is to put my modified code to my linuxcnc fork 
but I am not sure.

Please let me know what the next step is.

Also I think this modification could be published in the 2.7 branch as 
well as master. Currently I have been working with a copy of master. 
Should I publish the files to the 2.7 branch?

Thanks,

Jim
