Hi,
I have a couple of questions.
How often do you receive patches up-stream?
Is there any need to sign a legal paperwork in case if my patch was included?
I wish to contribute to VASSAL in some or other way, but I could not
see any trace of people sending patches on the forum, so here it goes!
Thanks!

Not as often as we’d like.

included?
No.

We look forward to it. What are you working on?

Thanks for the quick and very positive reply!
We look forward to it. What are you working on?
Maybe a small background information.
We’ve been using VASSAL engine successfuly for quite while in our RPG
Skype meetings, and we think it is a great tool for that purpose. One
of us even created a generic RPG module for VASSAL. That’s said I am
a programmer, and my RPG mates possibly could have a stream of small
improvements to the VASSAL engine which might go through me. I’d need
to ask specificly Filip about a list of things I could work on, as we
already spoke about it. It’d would be just faster (and more fun) if I
just implemented it, rather than making it a feature request, obviously
I will ask you if you are OK for me to work on this feature before.
So let me post later the list, and see if I could look at it.
BTW: I assume that the forum the only way to communicate with you and
there is not mailing list?
Thanks,

It would be helpful for us to know beforehand what you plan to work on,
both to prevent duplication of effort (someone might already be working
on it) and to ensure that it’s something we want to include.
We’d want to have a record of what’s being done in the tracker anyway,
so regardless of who does it, it will end up there as a feature request.
BTW: I assume that the forum the only way to communicate with you and

There is a mailing list, messages@vassalengine.org, which you can
subscribe to from here:
vassalengine.org/mailman/listinfo/messages
The mailing list is bridged to the forum. I’m writing this reply to the
mailing list, for example.
