== VLC Devel ==

VLC media player is a very fast changing and ever evolving project. 

It is very important to keep up to date with the latest developments. Therefore we advise everyone who makes changes to the VLC sourcecode, to sign up with the [http://www.videolan.org/support/lists.html vlc-devel mailing-list] so you can keep up with the latest changes and developments.

Please try to keep to our [[Code_Conventions|code conventions]]. They are very simple and help to keep all code readable. When you write new stuff, especially core stuff (in the "src" or "include" folders), please comment it heavily or add doxygen documentation for your sources.

== Code ==

Start by building VLC and use [[Git]] to get the full source code.

Before you start be sure to read the '''[http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/browser/HACKING HACKING]''' file in the main VLC source directory.

Before sending a patch be sure to read [[Sending Patch]]. To correctly report a bug see [[Report bugs]].
