X.Org Foundation Workgroups

Fixing bugs

Bugs assigned to the freedesktop bugzilla pseudo-user xorg-team@lists.x.org need someone to take ownership of them. If you feel qualified to fix the bug, feel free to take ownership of the bug by reassigning it to yourself.

Submitting patches

Attach your patches to a bug on freedesktop bugzilla. You can also submit your patches to the appropriate XorgMailingLists for additional review.

Requesting features

Please remember that X is just one component of the overall free desktop and that therefore future X enhancements should be thought through with this perspective. Also remember that the folks here are massively overloaded---by far the most reliable way to get a feature in is to put it there yourself.

To Do

See the ToDo page for a list of tasks that need to be done specific to Xorg. A more comprehensive list of unfinished X related projects (not necessarily involving working on the server itself) is also available. Both of these lists may be a bit out-of-date, so do hit the email lists once you've gotten yourself oriented.
