Satoshi, Thank you for your interest in contributing to VCL. It would be really great if you could contribute your customizations back to the project!
The general process for doing this is to create an issue on our JIRA (bug/feature tracking) site. You will need to set up an account to create a new issue. Anyone is allowed to set up an account. This is the URL for the site: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL It would be best to open a separate issue for (1) and (2) that you listed below and also a separate issue for each bug fix. After creating a JIRA issue, you can attach code to it. You can either attach modified versions of the files you changed or patches to those files. Also, it would be best for you to sign an Individual Contributor License Agreement (ICLA). You can find more information about the ICLA at the following URL. Basically, an ICLA says that you allow the Apache Software Foundation to use the code you contributed. http://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas If you are interested in becoming a more long term committer to the project (we need more committers to graduate out of incubator status!), we have a page that explains how to get more involved: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/VCL/Becoming+a+Committer I look forward to hearing more from you, Josh Thompson On Tuesday May 10, 2011, Satoshi KOBAYASHI wrote: > Dear VCL developers, > > I am Satoshi Kobayashi working as a system engineer in Hitachi Ltd.
