 CONTRIBUTING TO THE OPENVPN PROJECT
 ===================================
 
 Patches should be written against the Git "master" branch. Some patches may get
 backported to a release branch.
 
 We do not currently accept GitHub pull requests for the core OpenVPN project.
 Instead, all patches must be sent to "openvpn-devel" mailing list for review:
 
 - https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-devel
 
 The subject line should preferably be prefixed with [PATCH]. To avoid merging
 issues the patches should be generated with git-format-patch or sent using
 git-send-email. Try to split large patches into small, atomic pieces to make
 reviews easier.
 
 If you want quick feedback on a patch before sending it to openvpn-devel mailing
 list, you can visit the #openvpn-devel channel on irc.freenode.net. Note that
 you need to be logged in to Freenode to join the channel:

 More detailed contribution instructions are available here:

 Note that the process for contributing to other OpenVPN projects such as
 openvpn-build, openvpn-gui, tap-windows6 and easy-rsa may differ from what was
 described above. Please refer to the contribution instructions of each
 respective project.
