22. I would like to contribute to GRAMPS by writing my favorite report.
How do I do that?
The easiest way to contribute to reports, filters, tools, etc. is to copy
an existing GRAMPS report, filter, or tool. If you can create what you want
by modifying existing code -- great! If your idea does not fit into the logic
of any existing GRAMPS tool, the following page may provide some help in
writing your own plugin from scratch:
http://gramps.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/index.php/GrampsDevelopersPage
If you need more help or would like to discuss your idea with us, please
do not hesitate to contact us at gramps-devel@lists.sf.net
To test your work in progress, you may save your plugin under
$HOME/.gramps/plugins directory and it should be found and imported on startup.
The correctly written plugin will register itself with GRAMPS, create menu
item, and so on.
If you are happy with your plugin and would like to contribute your code
back to the GRAMPS project, you are very welcome to do so by contacting us
at gramps-devel@lists.sf.net
23. I found a bug and I want it fixed right now! What do I do?
The best thing you can do is to fix the bug and send the patch to
gramps-devel@lists.sf.net :-)

of contacting you should we need more information. If you choose to file your
report anonymously, at least check every so often whether your report page
has something new posted, as it probably would.

24. It is obvious that GRAMPS absolutely needs to become a (client-server/
web-based/PHP/weblog/Javascript/C++/distributed/KDE/Motif/Tcl/Win32/
C#/You-name-it) application.
When is this going to happen?
The surest way to see it happen is to get it done by yourself. Since
GRAMPS is free/open source, nobody prevents you from taking all of the
code and continuing its development in whatever direction you see fit.
In doing so, you may consider giving your new project another name to
avoid confusion with the continuing GRAMPS development. If you would
like the GRAMPS project to provide advice, expertise, filters, etc.,
we will gladly cooperate with your new project, to ensure compatability
or import/export options to your new format of a project.
If, however, you would like the GRAMPS project to to adopt your strategy,
you would need to convince GRAMPS developers that your strategy is good
for GRAMPS and superior to the present development strategy.
HINT: if GRAMPS developers are still not convinced after about three
messages sent to gramps-devel, maybe you are better off on your own
rather than with a company of retards who can't fully realize the
potential of your great idea :-)
