Galeon Development
Bugs and Suggestions
If you think that you have found a bug in Galeon, then please
report it, but please ensure that what you're reporting is actually a BUG and not a problem on your end.
If you have a suggestion for a new feature in Galeon, please subscribe to the
galeon-devel mailing list, and let us know. If we like the idea, we will ask for it to be reported to
Bugzilla as an enhancement, and it might get implemented.
Translations
Galeon can be easily translated into your own language. Translations are handled by the
GNOME Translation Project. The best way of contributing a Galeon translation is by
joining the team for your language. At least one person in the translation team has access to GNOME CVS and can commit your Galeon translation.
Developing Galeon
Galeon is actively developed, and the main developers hang around
#galeon on GIMPnet, which is where the majority of development discussion takes place, although you can also post to the
galeon-devel mailing list.
If you just want to help develop Galeon, and don't know where to start, then there are a few
easy to fix bugs and a whole lot more
bugs and feature requests in Bugzilla. In addition
GaleonPlan has a list of other changes that the developers would like to do.
You can follow what is happening in the Galeon tree using the
CIA website which has
real-time feeds of galeon changes.
Development Documentation
Submitting patches
If you have fixed a bug, enhanced some existing feature, or implemented a new exciting feature, don't hesitate to send us a patch. As the Galeon source is constantly changing we would appreciate it to have the patches against the most recent
CVS source tree in
unified diff format (
"cvs diff -u").
- If the patch fixes a bug, it should be added as an attachment in Bugzilla
- If the patch is a feature enhancement, or adds a new feature, it should be sent to galeon-devel mailing list with a description of the new functionality
In either case, the patch does not need to be complete. If there are some open issues feel free to send the patch to
galeon-devel mailing list and we will try to give some feedback as soon as possible.
If you are coding Galeon and need some help, then IRC is the best place to contact the developers, but be patient, we all have day jobs.
