Hey there,

I love the concept of the project and I’d like to try and contribute what I can. What can I do to get started?

I have experience with an array of languages but I’m most comfortable with java and love picking new languages/tools/techniques.

Sorry for the&nbsp;delay, I’ve been getting behind on the forum. In related news, if you are looking to contribute, one great option would be to help answer questions on the forum 🙂

Otherwise, there is a&nbsp;[http://liquibase.org/contributing](http://liquibase.org/contributing)&nbsp;page which lists other ideas.&nbsp;Usually it works best to check out the code and find a bug or feature you would like and work on&nbsp;implementing&nbsp;that.

Let me know if you have any questions

Nathan

Hi Nathan,  
  
so, assuming we have fixed a bug in Liquibase, how do we check in our code into your repository?

If you have an account on [liquibase.jira.com](http://liquibase.jira.com), you can commit directly to the SVN repository. Otherwise, you can submit a patch on the forum here and I can apply it.
