Drizzle values community contributions the same as core developer
5
contributions.  All contributions, regardless of their author,
6
undergo the same rigorous testing and approval process before being
7
merged into the main code base.

The `Drizzle project <https://launchpad.net/drizzle>`_ is hosted on
10
`Launchpad <https://launchpad.net/>`_ which handles code revision control,
11
bug tracking, mailing lists, and everything else needed to manage the
12
project.  For most contributions, you will need a
13
`Launchpad account <https://help.launchpad.net/YourAccount/NewAccount>`_.

Bazaar

------

18
Launchpad uses `Bazaar (bzr) <http://bazaar.canonical.com/>`_ for revision
19
control of the source repositories which includes code and documentation.
20
If you are not comfortable with :program:`bzr`, begin by reading the
21
`Bazaar documentation <http://doc.bazaar.canonical.com/>`_.  You can
22
practice working with :program:`bzr` branches using your Launchpad account.
