51 <a name="INTRODUCTION">1. Introduction</a>
54 <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span>, as an heir to <span class=
55 "APPLICATION">Junkbuster</span>, is a Free Software project and the
56 code is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2. As
57 such, <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> development is
58 potentially open to anyone who has the time, knowledge, and desire to
59 contribute in any capacity. Our goals are simply to continue the
60 mission, to improve <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span>, and to
61 make it available to as wide an audience as possible.
64 One does not have to be a programmer to contribute. Packaging,
65 testing, documenting and porting, are all important jobs as well.
69 <a name="QUICKSTART">1.1. Quickstart to Privoxy Development</a>
72 The first step is to join the <a href=
73 "mailto:ijbswa-developers@lists.sourceforge.net" target=
74 "_top">developer's mailing list</a>. You can submit your ideas, or
75 even better patches. Patches are best submitted to the Sourceforge
76 tracker set up for this purpose, but can be sent to the list for
80 You will also need to have a cvs package installed, which will
81 entail having ssh installed as well (which seems to be a
82 requirement of SourceForge), in order to access the cvs repository.
83 Having the GNU build tools is also going to be important
84 (particularly, autoconf and gmake).
87 For the time being (read, this section is under construction), you
88 can also refer to the extensive comments in the source code. In
89 fact, reading the code is recommended in any case.
