Hi,

bugfixes go to the latest release branch (currently Jul2015); ("small", "single-commit") new features go to the developement branch (default); larger long-term feature development requires a separate branch (one per feature);

Best, Stefan

Hello!

Thanks for the answer. What would be the branch to base my patches / developments on? I see two candidates in http://dev.monetdb.org/hg/MonetDB/branches:

• default
• Jul2015

Could you advise?

Thanks!

...

The documentation for setting up the development environment and for getting the source code is pretty good, but I am missing a process description, how a volunteer can participate in the software development process. E.g. how are bugs assigned,

You could start by picking a bug, trying to fix it and then attach the patch to the bug description. We will have a a look at it for sure.

...

submitted, what needs to be done besides code production?

Writing test cases for bugs without them is also a nice way of getting started.
