If you can find your way around git, and can test patches, then all
good. Put your name on the wiki

Can test patches -- now have a dedicated 64 bit sandbox for Koha running Ubuntu LTS (quad core, 8 gigs RAM, bags of disk space.)  The only caveat (as above) is that testing anything concerning specifically *lending* libraries might pose problems.

Never used git; I have googled, and found the official [?] manual at <http://git-scm.com/docs/user-manual.html>, but you may have other suggestions. I'll try and clone the Koha git repository (if that's the correct expression) over the next little while and let you know how I get on.

Also, please correct me if I'm wrong: when 3.14 comes out 3.8 will be "old" and perhaps more or less fall off the edge of the world (like 3.6 at <http://download.koha-community.org/>?) so are we talking about product enhancements/new features? all bugs? or security patches (critical bugs) only?

Best - Paul
