Re: Usability and visual issues with prototype.php.net

Hi Levi, Currently communication goes through this mailing list when we're working on it. It's good to list improvements for the prototype, but it's better to actually go ahead and improve/fix the code than just talk about it. That's just the nature of volunteer projects. You don't need karma to provide a patch to us, we tend to have people provide us with a couple of patches before we let them start changing code. My suggestion for you is to do the work and create a 'diff' file and send it to us on this mailing list as an attachment or gist.github.com link. We can review your changes and things like coding standards, to make sure they match. Once we've done this a couple of times and you know the ropes then we're usually ok to give you karma to stuff. @Hannes, feel free to correct me on any of the points above. Regards, - Paul Dragoonis.
