<p>Here are some pieces of information regarding development in Window Maker.</p>
<h3>Source code versioning system</h3>
<p>The source code for Window Maker is contained in a <a href="http://git-scm.com/">git</a> repository located <a href=
"http://repo.or.cz/w/wmaker-crm.git">here</a>. Git is very convenient for our purposes and you can find more
information about it on the mentioned link. To obtain a full-fledged copy of the repository do this:<br /></p>
<p>git clone git://repo.or.cz/wmaker-crm.git<br /></p>
<h3>Submitting patches</h3>
<p>The source code in the above git repository follows the coding style of the linux kernel. Please take a look
<a href="http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=blob_plain;f=Documentation/CodingStyle;hb=HEAD">
here</a> and try to respect it when submitting patches. This is really important.</p>
<p>If you want to contribute patches to Window Maker and you are not familiar with git, please take a look at the git
homepage above - it contains the kind of documentation you need to get started. You should also read the file contained
in the Window Maker repository <a href=
"http://repo.or.cz/w/wmaker-crm.git/blob/HEAD:/The-perfect-Window-Maker-patch.txt">The perfect Window Maker patch</a>
which gives you further details about patches to Window Maker.</p>
<p>If your patch is really good and important, feel free to send it to the mailing list
wmaker-dev@lists.windowmaker.org anyway in whatever form most suits you. But please consider the fact that patches sent
in odd formats induce extra work for who applies them.</p>
<p>Last but not least, patches doing code cleanups are <strong>STRONGLY</strong> encouraged. Please go ahead! The risks
of introducing regressions when doing cleanups exists, but if you also follow the practice of having a patch for each
unrelated change you do, the eventuall regressions can be easily found and reverted.</p>
<h3>Git repository for dockapps</h3>
<p>There is also a <a href="http://repo.or.cz/w/dockapps.git">git repository</a> containing a few dockapps which
apparently have no maintainers anymore. Patches for those dockapps (or to include more apps) can also be sent to
wmaker-dev@lists.windowmaker.org.</p>
