+Bugs happen, and you might know how to fix one!  Because we don't allow everybody write access to the official code repository
+(everybody has access to read, though!), there is an additional process that has to occur to get fixes in.  To help us
+squash bugs, do the following :
+
+1. Find a bug you want to work on, or submit one into [JIRA][3].  We have some marked as "easy" if you play with the JIRA filters if you want to start with an easy one.  Make a comment on the ticket that you plan on working on it so others don't duplicate your work.
+2. Check out the source code from SVN.  You may want to use an IDE like Eclipse or IntelliJ with the proper plugins to do this
+for you.  More information is available on the [Source][4] page.
+3. Setup your build enviroment.  Check out the README included in the source code on how to do this.  You will want to make sure that you can perform a compile before you go much further.
+4. Fix the bug.  If you need help, ask the dev@flex.apache.org mailing list.  I'm sure we have pointers to help you out.
+5. (optional) Run the functional test suite called [Mustella][5] on your code.  The [Mustella tests][5] are available from the ANT script, but make sure you set it up first.
+6. Create a .patch file.  If you are using an IDE, check your SVN, VCS or Source Control menus for this option.  If you are using svn from the command line, use 'svn diff > myPatch.patch'.
+7. Attach the .patch file to the JIRA ticket you noted earlier.  A committer will review the patch and make sure it dosen't break anything else.
+8. Sit back and bask in the glory that you helped make Flex better!
