Something we talked about a while ago, but never did. An FAQ on how to submit a patch to the project. Obviously, we have many project members who have figured this out. But there may be others who now or in the future would benefit from a simple write up.
I was thinking of taking as a base, this page from Apache HTTP, "How to Contribute Patches to Apache": http://httpd.apache.org/dev/patches.html A few questions: 1) If someone uses the git bridge to the repository, does "git diff" produce a patch in the same format as "svn diff"? In other words, are they compatible? 2) Do we have a strong preference for whether patches are submitted to the ooo-dev list or via Bugzilla? Or are both acceptable? 3) It is clear that someone submitting a patch to BZ does so under ALv2. It is not so clear for patches on ooo-dev, unless they state so explicitly, right? 4) Any other things we should mention? -Rob
