Privoxy, as an heir to Junkbuster, is a Free Software project and the code + is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2. As such, + Privoxy development is potentially open + to anyone who has the time, knowledge, and desire to contribute in any + capacity. Our goals are simply to continue the mission, to improve + Privoxy, and to make it available to as + wide an audience as possible.
+ +One does not have to be a programmer to contribute. Packaging, + testing, documenting and porting, are all important jobs as well.
+ +The first step is to join the privoxy-devel mailing list. You can submit your ideas, or + even better patches. Patches are best submitted to the Sourceforge + tracker set up for this purpose, but can be sent to the list for review + too.
+ +You will also need to have a cvs package installed, which will + entail having ssh installed as well (which seems to be a requirement of + SourceForge), in order to access the cvs repository. Having the GNU + build tools is also going to be important (particularly, autoconf and + gmake).
+ +For the time being (read, this section is under construction), you + can also refer to the extensive comments in the source code. In fact, + reading the code is recommended in any case.
