Regression, fixes, and stuff

Hello all. I've been playing more intimately with boost lately, and running the regression tests. As I do it, I feel I'll have the time to help fixing bugs here and there. But I wouldn't like to just start throwing patches in the list risking entering in conflict with other people's work. So... How is the development process coordinated? Do regressions get bugs assigned to them? Is there a list for sending patches? -- Pedro Lamarão Desenvolvimento Intersix Technologies S.A.

Not well enough I'm afraid.

Probably the best thing you can do is to enter patches and bugs into the SourceForge bug/patch trackers. Everything that goes in there gets Cc'd to this list, so it will get as much notice as posting would, and there will be a permanent record that can be followed up on directly. Be sure to log in to SourceForge before posting, and try to put the name of the library or libraries concerned in the subject/synopsis of the bug, e.g. [MPL] for_each busted!
