Contributing to Xfce

Purpose of this document

At the time of writing (FOSDEM 2013), the entry barrier for contributing to Xfce is substantially higher than it could be. There are several hurdles that people have to figure out themselves. Our aim should be to help them out with easy to find information that makes obvious how interested people can start contributing to Xfce.

The two main hurdles (probably) are:

  • There is no easily accessible list of low-hanging fruit or tasks to get started with.
  • There is no defined, transparent contribution process.

These hurdles make it difficult for potential contributors to know how they can contribute and what they could contribute in the first place.

The purpose of this document is to come up with a concept for providing low-hanging fruit to the developer community and a contribution process that removes uncertainty about what the right way/format of contributing code is.
