Contributing

You are intrested in mc and would like to improve it? Cool! Feel free to post your patches to the tickets and review patches there. If you do this on a regular basis we'll ask you if you maybe want to become a dev. However when you work with the ticket system please have a look on our WorkingGuideLines, so that your work is noticed by us.

If you are unfamiliar with git, you can also have a short view on our GitGuideLines where the workflow with git is described quite practical.

Another way to contribute something is via GoogleSummerOfCode?. We are currently looking for project ideas which we collect here?. If you are a student and interested in developing Midnight Commander further please contact us via our mailinglist mc-devel(at)gnome(dot)org and discuss your idea with us.
