Development Assisting
SCREEM is always open to volunteers, whether you want to fix a bug which is bothering you, or have a new feature feel free to offer assistance and patches. Of course even if you aren't a programmer you could offer to assist in the documentation, or even just provide useful bug reports.
CVS Directions
The latest code can be checkout from the projects CVS repository via anonymous (pserver) CVS with the instructions that follow.
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@screem.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/screem logincvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@screem.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/screem co screem-devNotes:
- When prompted for a password for anonymous simply press the Enter key
- To use the stable branch add -rr0_16_x after the co (and before screem-dev)
Mailing List
There is of course a mailing list for discussion about screem development which you can subscribe to, or just read through the old messages. This is a very low traffic list in general.
