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?

There is a link on our Subversion Basics page [1] that should point to
the new page when it's ready. It currently points to the Apache
Contributors Tech Guide [2].
I could change the link when the page is made.
