		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Copied from old wiki&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;__NOTOC__ __NOEDITSECTION__&lt;br /&gt;
The development of Gambit was started in 1989 by [http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~feeley/ Marc Feeley].&lt;br /&gt;
In order to maintain tight control over the quality of the implementation, few other developers have been permitted&lt;br /&gt;
to contribute directly to the system.  Now that Gambit has matured and that the core system is&lt;br /&gt;
unlikely to change much, we believe that it is important to open the development process to&lt;br /&gt;
invite contributions by the Gambit user community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Contributions are sought in at least three areas:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Gambit's source code'''&lt;br /&gt;
** Locate and fix bugs&lt;br /&gt;
** [[Wish_list | Suggest new features ]]&lt;br /&gt;
** Implement new features&lt;br /&gt;
** Port the system to new platforms&lt;br /&gt;
** Improve the performance of the system&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Gambit's documentation'''&lt;br /&gt;
** Improve the user manual&lt;br /&gt;
** Improve the Gambit web site&lt;br /&gt;
** Write tutorials&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Gambit's packages'''&lt;br /&gt;
** Create and maintain Gambit specific packages&lt;br /&gt;
** Port packages from other Scheme implementations&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Contributing to Gambit's source code==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you discover a bug while working with Gambit we advise that you report the bug on the&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~gambit/bugzilla/ bug tracking system], which is powered by [http://www.bugzilla.org/ Bugzilla].  You should&lt;br /&gt;
do this even if you know how to fix or work around the problem, so that others&lt;br /&gt;
can search the bug database to be aware of its existence and to see the status of the bug.&lt;br /&gt;
Suggestions for new features can also be submitted to the bug tracking system.  The bugs are&lt;br /&gt;
prioritized so that the most serious bugs are addressed first.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The latest sources are available in the [[Source code repository | source code repository]]. It can be accessed using&lt;br /&gt;
the [http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/ Mercurial] distributed version control system.  The details are&lt;br /&gt;
explained in the [[Contributing Patches to Gambit Source Code | source code repository instructions]].  With Mercurial you get&lt;br /&gt;
a local copy of the source code repository which you can use to develop a ''patch'' that fixes a bug&lt;br /&gt;
or implements a new feature.  If you feel confident that the patch is correct and useful to others,&lt;br /&gt;
you can then submit this patch to the Gambit maintainers. The patch will be reviewed to see how well&lt;br /&gt;
it fits with the goals and philosophy of Gambit. If the patch is accepted then it will be applied to the&lt;br /&gt;
source code repository and included in the official distribution of Gambit.  If you are planning to&lt;br /&gt;
make a substantial change to the source code it is best to discuss your plans on the&lt;br /&gt;
[https://webmail.iro.umontreal.ca/mailman/listinfo/gambit-list Gambit mailing list]&lt;br /&gt;
beforehand to improve the likelihood it will be accepted when it is submitted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Contributing to Gambit's documentation==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Gambit manual's source is bundled with the source code.  It is in the '''doc''' subdirectory of the&lt;br /&gt;
Gambit source code distribution.  Patches to the manual can be contributed like source code&lt;br /&gt;
contributions as explained above.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Gambit web site is organized as a Wiki, powered by [http://www.mediawiki.org/ MediaWiki] (the same&lt;br /&gt;
system used by Wikipedia).  The core pages and the navigation sidebar can only be edited by the Gambit&lt;br /&gt;
maintainers.  Pages which have an '''edit''' link or tab can be edited by anyone using these&lt;br /&gt;
[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_User%27s_Guide:_Editing_overview editing rules].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Suggestions for improving the Gambit web site or for adding new pages that can be edited&lt;br /&gt;
should be discussed on the [http://webmail.iro.umontreal.ca/mailman/listinfo/gambit-list Gambit mailing list].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Contributing to Gambit's packages ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The procedure for contributing packages is still under development.  Please stay tuned.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
