Hello,
There is nothing special about a "fork" it is just a copy of the
original repository on the server. So once you go on CodePlex and create a fork
you will basically have your own Git repository of the Wix source and you can
create branches do merges, whatever you want. Then when you have a fix ready
you just merge it into your master branch and go to your codeplex page and
select your "fork" of the wix toolset and click the send pull request and then
your code will be reviewed and merged into the main Wix repository.

Interested in helping on 3.8
I started using a .bat file after downloading the source code at
http://wixextba.codeplex.com/ and seeing how Neil was using the MSBuild
commands. Here at work I tend to just re-type the command in a VSCmd box and
not use the bat file, as I do not do wix 3.8 source builds very often here.
But at home where my intent is to figure out how to get VS2013 to build the Wix
3.8 code both as a learning exercise and to help others in the future, and
since VS2013RC does not have the VSCmd box so far as I can tell, I created bat
files. Mostly I am finding and fixing issues in the msbuild .*proj, .targets,
and .props files, often by duplicating and modifying existing code, such as
tests for a VS specific path. Occasionally I try passing a property change in
the bat file as an experiment and then if it works I figure out where in the
msbuild process the property should be set, eliminating the entry in the .bat
file. However in the course of doing this effort I also researched and figured
out
how to write a bat file which assures that msbuild is launched with elevated
privileges when launching OneTimeWixBuildInitialization.proj, which was the
point of my suggestion to provide a .bat for that situation (in contrast to the
suggestion to clarify the documentation that elevated privileges are needed to
build OneTimeWixBuildInitialization.proj. But it is a minor point and not
really my key focus. If I find a way to make a msbuild proj file insist on
elevated privileges I will try that out.
The posts yesterday on using git were very interesting. I will try to get up
to speed on git so that I can put these changes in a 'fork??' so others can
review what I am doing and provide advice.
