Getting Started

Anyone is welcome to contribute to StepMania. We suggest you start by subscribing to the stepmania-devs mailing list (details below). If you have features that you would like to work on adding to StepMania, please send your ideas for feedback to the stepmania-devs mailing list.

Please do not send feature requests to the mailing list unless you're working on the feature yourself. We have a forum for feature requests.

In general, we don't give our CVS commit access until you have a change or feature close to ready for checkin. If you're discussing your idea on the mailing list, just ask for commit access when you're close to ready for checkin.
