great - that's not a problem: writing some example code and putting it up online somewhere is a good first step, it encourages people to download it, play with it and help pitch in. > If I succeed in fixing it, how do I properly make the fix > available to others? I'm new to how the code contribution thing works in the > free community. cool. very cool. ok, depending on what you've got, if you have git installed, you can just run the "git diff" command and attach the output to a bugreport, at http://code.google.com/p/pyjamas/issues, then just send a quick note "hey here's a link to bugreport #750 {whatever}". otherwise, you can use the unix "diff" command (diff -u for preference). if you've got windows, you can get that by installing, funnily enough, git-win32. we do need people to include themselves as a copyright contributor (add to the copyright file) and also put, in each file modified, "Copyright (C) Year, Contact Details" because the GNU/Linux distributions require a complete and full list of people, and their agreement and permission to distribute their code under a given license. thaaat's... probably enough to be getting on with :) l.
