I want to contribute

RT Developers
1

I would really like to get involved with RT. I’d
like to contribute code, documentation, and helping
rt-users.

What is the best ways to get started?

There are lots of little things I would like to
fix/change, but I don’t know if they need to be
fixed, or if they were meant to be the way they are.

(For example, non-staff users cannot see tickets
throguh self-service if the ticket is of type
approval.)

Would it be best to post diffs to code that also
include a variable for RT_SiteConfig.pm so that
my changes are optional?

I’m worried that my local customizations would
not be welcome, or that if many of them are
rejected then my stie will be hard to maintain
for future RT upgrades.

Any feedback is appreciated.

welcome.

rt-users is an open list for community help. you’re welcome to jump
right in. No need to be shy there.

If you have docs, you can submit them to
rt-doc-workers@lists.fsck.com, you can also sub there, though it
doesn’t get much traffic or discussion.

I’m sure someone more involved with code will speak to that, but
sending diffs to rt-devel is unlikely to be frowned upon.

IMO that’s usually good.
