Submitting Patches to Upstream
Place the patch in the tracker's patches section, with an explanation. Please also place an explanation of the patch in the developer forum so we know its in the tracker.
Carriage Returns / Line Feeds
All text files for the project should have Unix-style line endings (i.e. no carriage returns). Developers who use a Windows desktop should also use a suitable text editor that respects this (last checked, EditPad Lite was one free example).
PHP Sessions and Browser Windows
You must include a JavaScript call to top.restoreSession() wherever you invoke a PHP script that requires current session data (which is most of them). How to do this is discussed in more detail in the architecture discussion wiki page.
