41 <a name="INTRODUCTION">1. Introduction</a>
44 <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span>, as an heir to <span class=
45 "APPLICATION">Junkbuster</span>, is a Free Software project and the
46 code is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2. As
47 such, <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> development is
48 potentially open to anyone who has the time, knowledge, and desire to
49 contribute in any capacity. Our goals are simply to continue the
50 mission, to improve <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span>, and to
51 make it available to as wide an audience as possible.
54 One does not have to be a programmer to contribute. Packaging,
55 testing, documenting and porting, are all important jobs as well.
59 <a name="QUICKSTART">1.1. Quickstart to Privoxy Development</a>
62 The first step is to join the <a href=
63 "https://lists.privoxy.org/mailman/listinfo/privoxy-devel" target=
64 "_top">privoxy-devel mailing list</a>. You can submit your ideas,
65 or even better patches. Patches are best submitted to the
66 Sourceforge tracker set up for this purpose, but can be sent to the
70 You will also need to have a cvs package installed, which will
71 entail having ssh installed as well (which seems to be a
72 requirement of SourceForge), in order to access the cvs repository.
73 Having the GNU build tools is also going to be important
74 (particularly, autoconf and gmake).
77 For the time being (read, this section is under construction), you
78 can also refer to the extensive comments in the source code. In
79 fact, reading the code is recommended in any case.
