If you enjoy using Bochs, please consider joining our development team to
|
||
|
|
assist in improving and extending Bochs. Open source projects depend on people like you to keep them
|
||
|
|
going, so your help is needed!<BR><BR>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The <a href="mailinglists.html">bochs-developers mailing list</a> is the forum
|
||
|
|
for all sorts of Bochs discussions, so reading over the mailing list archives
|
||
|
|
and joining the list is a good way to get involved. To find out what features
|
||
|
|
and fixes are under consideration, check out the bug reports, patches,
|
||
|
|
and feature requests on the SourceForge project page. Even if you
|
||
|
|
don't have a SourceForge account, you can add to our collection of good
|
||
|
|
ideas by submitting your own.
|
||
|

|

|
|
If you are familiar with PC hardware such as IDE controllers,
|
||
|
|
8259 interrupt controller, or the PS/2 mouse protocol, we can always use
|
||
|
|
some help in improving the device models. Or, if your favorite operating
|
||
|
|
system or GUI is not supported, you might want to port Bochs to your
|
||
|
|
platform.
|
||
|
|
Another way to contribute is to test Bochs on new platforms.
|
||
|
|
The testing status page shows a table of host platforms and guest operating
|
||
|
|
systems. Fill out a testing form (or several!) for the configurations that
|
||
|
|
you have tried. For free operating systems, you could donate a disk
|
||
|
|
image to save other users the trouble of installing.
|
||
|
|
<br><br>
|
||
|
|
With anonymous CVS access (available to everyone), you can make changes to
|
||
|
|
the Bochs source code and submit patches on SourceForge that allow other
|
||
|
|
people to try out your improvements. If you are submitting frequent
|
||
|
|
patches, ask Bryce or Greg for CVS write access.
