Quick Start

The best way to get involved with the development is to jump in.

• If you don't already have one, get an account on projectpier.org (you'll need this for the forums and issue tracker) You can also enable the contributor links block for a handy tool
• If you are not interested in contributing to the code base, look at the other ways on contributing to the project
• Subscribe to the development mailing list and any others your are interested in, such as documentation or svn commits. Don't be shy about introducing your self, abilities and intentions.
• If you have support questions, post them in the forums instead asking the development mailing list. This helps everyone - you'll be more happy because the developers won't berate you for posting to the list (plus you're more likely to get a good answer in the forums), and the developers will be more happy because they can keep improving the code.
• Come have a chat with the other developers in IRC
• Checkout a copy of the code from the subversion repository  and start exploring
• Check out the issue tracker for bugs, tasks, feature requests and see if you can help. Also, if you've found a bug please read the bug submission guidelines.
• Read the coding standards and the review process to understand how changes are contributed back and the format they should follow.
