Ant contributor
Hello, I would like to contribute to ant, but find the 'voting' process a deterrant & a bit confusing.
I have developed a fix for ant and would like to submit it. Of course I don't have access to check in code.
What is the best way to go about this? Do I post my code to the listserv for people to vote on?

Actually, use:
cvs diff -u
Thats the recommended patch format.

Against an up-to-date CVS checkout, do a "cvs diff -c" on the files with
your fix. Post that to this list. Make sure you update the test suite to
demonstrate and verify-as-fixed the bug and include that with your patch diff.
I did that with a bug I fixed last week and it was checked into CVS within
an hour (of course turnaround that quick shouldn't be expected as
normal). I didn't open a bug report, but probably should have so that it
could be tracked/reported in the next release.

I'd suggest reading the "Getting Involved" section of http://jakarta.apache.org.
All is answered there.
