How to contribute to open source projects.

Found a good summary link.
I posted it on my blog too.

Anyway, here is the link: http://www.kegel.com/academy/opensource.html
Some good links on the bottom of the page too.

Re: How to contribute to open source projects.

I recommend to read the mailinglist archive to see how other patches are received. Before wasting too much time on coding something you could also check beforehand if there is any chance if it will be accepted. If they ignore you that's a good sign your patch will be ignored too.
