Re: [mantisbt-dev] greetings, new here

Hi Damien,

Thank you!

Not sure why it took me so long either, lol.  Not knowing I was looking for
a mailing list, I went to git hub mantisbt, mantis site foot links, through
support, documentation, for any contact info, Docs for Developers, into both
Developers Corner and Developers Guide, read up a bit, from there clicked on
Contributing to MantisBT, read up a bit, then got kind of stuck-like-chuck.
I think I skipped the mantis connect, somehow I got to gmane and tried to
figure out its antiquities. Can you point out some resources in those
Developers Corner and Guide to the mailing list?  Ya gotta know, I was
having fun, just browsin as they say!

Can you clarify this part please:
"For anything that is not a bugfix, please make sure you base your patches
against the *master* branch. Also, kindly follow our coding guidelines. Our
wiki https://www.mantisbt.org/wiki/doku.php/mantisbt:developers_corner is a
useful reference."

So if its not a bug fix, have fix applied to clean chekout of base master,
patch that right?  And if it IS a big fix what? branch it, base the patch on
the branch fix?

Hello Brian, and welcome.

I'm not sure why it took you so long to find us, after all if you type
"mantis" in Google, our website is the first link that pops up... from there
it's just 2 clicks on "Support" then "Mailing lists" to get here, not to
mention that a link to the website as well as this mailing list's address is
included in the header of every source file.

Anyway, glad to have you with us, your contributions would be welcome. The
best way to propose these is by submitting a Pull Request on our Github
repository https://github.com/mantisbt/mantisbt, preferably linked to a
corresponding issue in our tracker http://mantisbt.org/bugs

For anything that is not a bugfix, please make sure you base your patches
against the *master* branch. Also, kindly follow our coding guidelines. Our
wiki https://www.mantisbt.org/wiki/doku.php/mantisbt:developers_corner is a
useful reference.

If you need help, post here or try to ping us on our Gitter channel for a
chat https://gitter.im/mantisbt/mantisbt

Cheers
Damien
