The FreeCol-team is always looking for new people who would like to contribute to our volunteer-based project. No matter what your areas of interests are, we can make use of your skills.<br /><br />This is a list of whom to contact if you want to participate:<br />

<div align="left">We can always make use of skilled programmers wanting to either submit patches or fully participate in the development of the game. If you are interested in contributing, the usual procedure is:</div>
<ul>
<li>Subscribe to the developer mailing list so you can see what happening/being discussed</li>
<li>Pick something to work on and send patches to the mailing list</li>
<li>
<ul>
<li>Start small until you have a broad familiarity with the codebase</li>
<li>Bugfixes are preferred over new functionality</li>
<li>The AI code is notoriously tricky and not recommended for starting projects</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>After <small number> of useful patches, people tend to get added to the project, with write commit privilege.</li>
