===== Development documentation =====

The development documentation for the latest release can be found [[http://www.pardus.nl/projects/zim/docs/zim/Development.html|here online]]. The documentation is part of the development source tree (see below), so changes will be applied to revision control when they are made.

===== Patches =====

The simple way to create patches is to download the source tar ball for the latest release. After you are done hacking take a diff and mail it.

If you want the full revision controlled source tree you will need the [[http://bazaar-vcs.org/|Bazaar version control system]]. To check out the current tree run:

	$ bzr branch http://pardus-larus.student.utwente.nl/~pardus/downloads/bazaar/Zim/

(Mirrored at: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~pardus-cpan/zim/trunk)

This will give you a local copy to hack on. When working on a large feature please commit changes to your local branch regularly so we have a detailed log of what changed later on. When you are done run:

	$ bzr send --mail-to pardus@cpan.org

This will send an email containing the whole patch set which can be merged.

===== Contact =====

There is no mailing list (yet ?) so for all your comments, questions and rants [[pardus@cpan.org|mail to me]] personally.
