How to (and where) contribute

[m_scapoli]

Hi to all,
I've finished my degree thesis project on a plug-in for Alfresco 4.x versions that make a Diff operation on two different versions of the same document loaded on Alfresco.
My degree thesis is based on working on open source environment then I wish to redistribute my work in the same way for all the "Alfrescan" people here.

Anybody can advise me on the best way to set up an open project for share my work with you guys? Google Code Project Page could be a good choice?

Very soon I'll post something more interesting also on this forum.

Regards

P.S: Here two screen of how looks the plug-in, in the first you can see a version "bug" (the version label in grey say 3.0 for both the versions but the the upload date instead is correct because is different) that is caused by an hardcoded function of Alfresco that I'll try to bypass in the future

in the second you can see that the layout of the lines is somewhat incorrect ("Hello!" substitute "Nevermore" and the lines are "out of indent"), this is another enhancement that I'll add in the next versions

Welcome.

The wiki has details of how to contribute.   However here is a summary.

If your contribution is a useful extension to alfresco then put it onto whatever site suits you (such as google code) and add an entry to "Alfresco Add-Ons" so the community can find it.

If your contribution is documentation then you can edit the wiki directly.

If your contribution is code to go into the core of alfresco then please read the wiki on contributing code.

Looking forward to your involvement

Thanks a lot, I think I've lost something reading the wiki, I haven't found the pages that spend words on contribution, in the next days I'll search better

Thanks for the help!
