Before you engage in an activity that will take you a significant amount of
|
2017-04-01 11:29:25 -04:00
|
|
|
time, like implementing a new feature, it's always good to contact us first,
|
2021-04-10 18:09:05 -04:00
|
|
|
preferably via the [qubes-devel](/support/#qubes-devel) mailing list. Once we've worked out the
|
|
|
|
|
details, we'll add you to our [Community-Developed Feature Tracker](/qubes-issues/). We'll then
|
|
|
|
|
be grateful to [receive your patch](/doc/source-code/#how-to-send-patches).
