Re: [Tsheetx-developers] Getting Involved

[David T. <tom...@us...>]

Hi Mark
 
Sounds like you've approached this from a new angle (what the hell is XHTML compliance?), which is great. We would welcome your contributions.
 
It sounds as if you have done what most of us have started at one point or another, pulled down the (abandoned) code at started improving. The tricky part is delivering the changes back to the "whole". If you are serious about contributing, it is a matter of telling me your sourceforge ID, and we can set-up your SVN commit access.
 
I would suggest putting major changes into a separate branch, so that others can look at them, and then we can gradually merge your changes back into the trunk.
 
How does that sound?
 
Cheers
