Drizzle's development primarily happens on
 
5
`Launchpad <http://launchpad.net/drizzle>`_ which handles code hosting, bugs,
 
6
mailing lists and everything else needed for project management.  You will need
 
7
a `Launchpad account <https://help.launchpad.net/YourAccount/NewAccount>`_

before making most kinds of contributions.

One of Drizzle's aims is to have community contributions valued in the same way
 
11
as core developer contributions, and all code goes through exactly the same
 
12
approval and testing process no matter who it comes from (core developers or
 
13
general community).
