VideoLAN welcomes anyone wanting to help, either by writing code, finding or fixing bugs, starting or updating translations, doing graphics work, ...

==== Getting started ====
 
−
 
 
−
Getting started at coding is a matter of finding something to fix, and fixing it. Once you have fixed something, you will want to send in a patch. If you do that a few times, you may want to apply for an SVN account so you can fix things directly.
 
−
 
 
−
You might be interested in having a look at our [[Mini_Projects]], which are some identified development efforts for which an existing VLC developer is willing to help a new developer in his progress. These [[Mini_Projects]] generally don't require a great knowledge of VLC code.
 
−
 
 
−
It is recommended that you join the vlc-devel [http://developers.videolan.org/lists.html mailing list], where all commits are archived.
