<p><span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span>, as an heir to <span class=
"APPLICATION">Junkbuster</span>, is a Free Software project and the code
is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2. As such,
capacity. Our goals are simply to continue the mission, to improve
<span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span>, and to make it available to as
wide an audience as possible.</p>

<p>One does not have to be a programmer to contribute. Packaging,
testing, documenting and porting, are all important jobs as well.</p>

to Privoxy Development</a></h2>
-
<p>The first step is to join the <a href=
"https://lists.privoxy.org/mailman/listinfo/privoxy-devel" target=
"_top">privoxy-devel mailing list</a>. 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.</p>
-
<p>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).</p>
-
<p>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.</p>
