I have been using NetXMS for a long time, and I think it's a great piece of software! As is customary in the open source community, I'd love to show my appreciation by contributing code to the project. So my questions are:

1) Do you have any established routines/workflow for submitting patches, documentation or otherwise?

2) Have you considered migrating to GitHub (or equivalent) for easier collaboration and broader project visibility?

Thanks in advance!

Hi!

We don't get much patches, so there are no established workflow :) I suggest that small patches for fixing specific bugs should be submitted via our bugtracker. Regarding large changes please contact me first and we will discuss better way.

We don't have plan to migrate to public repositories. As we are trying to build business around NetXMS (which will allow as to keep working on open source project), we have some closed source extensions and need repository we have full control of.
Our current repository is subversion, but we plan to migrate to git soon. I'll provide you with necessary access as soon as you'll need it.

Best regards,
Victor

Sounds good, thanks for the reply!

I have submitted a small patch in ticket #332 now.

Looking forward to the git migration by the way. Already in its vanilla implementation it's awesome for collaboration. :)
