Query - Get Involved

Hello,

I am not sure if this question belongs in this subforum, but I have consulted the Get Involved page:
https://xfce.org/getinvolved

and then browsed the subpages for development/bug fixing

I also browsed the FAQ in the Wiki, but again did not find what I was looking for there.

As I am new to the website and git pages, where would be the best place to consult the relevant development teams?
Which category would be a good place to start?
Applications?
Core libraries?
Plugins?

Thank you for your time and help with this.

Re: Query - Get Involved

The best way to get in contact with the core developers is either through the #xfce-dev IRC channel on irc.libera.chat, or via the xfce4-dev mailing list.

Which category would be a good place to start?
Applications?
Core libraries
Plugins?

The best place to start is to look at bug reports for a specific component of Xfce that interests you and code a patch. After a few successful patches and contributions you can request write access to the component.

Thanks for offering to contribute!

Re: Query - Get Involved

Thank you for advising and for the kind response, I will explore those options.

Given the size of the Xfce project it is good to know where to start and so this has been very helpful.

You are welcome, I look forward to speaking with the development team.
