CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Alright, I've spent most of today looking through all the detailed (albeit scattered information about CiviCRM and how I can get involved as a developer.

So here is the scenario - are my steps right?

Let's say I want to give Sunil a little help with this bug: http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-4855.  I would:
1. Review the bug in the issue tracker at the above link to fully understand it.
2. Download alpha 1 for 3.0 since the Fix Version/s is 3.0
3. Verify that I see the same behavior (if I'm an overachiever, maybe check this in 2.2 as well)
4. Rework the EventInfo.php class and any others necessary to fix the problem
5. Create a patch (not positive how to do this, but I'm sure I can find it somewhere online - any pointers)
6. Submit the patch as a file attachement in the issue tracker
7. Hope that Sunil gets a minute to review the patch and commit it to the trunk in time for 3.0.1

Tell me what I'm missing here!

Thanks - I'm hoping I can dive in with CiviCRM!
