The most visible way is to send a patch to the vtk list. If you use the git patch commands you can create patches that will preserve the author (Marco in this case) as git has separate Author and Committer fields. See this wiki at the bottom on how to create a patch.<div>

<br>Being also available on github, Marco from DKFZ (German research cancer institute) forked it and added a patch. As he mentioned, "Pull request" doesn't seem to "work". What could be the best way for him to share his patch. <br>
<br>Beside of the following page <a href="http://www.vtk.org/VTK/project/getinvolved.html" target="_blank">http://www.vtk.org/VTK/project/getinvolved.html</a> , <br>Is there any documentation available regarding the "contribution" workflow ? <br>
Is the mailing list the preferred way to share contribution ? <br>Will the ownership of the original "patcher" be maintained ? <br><br>I added Marco in CC, feel free to answer that email and let him know the best way to share his work. <br>

nolden wants you to pull from nolden/VTK at 9ba9588<br>
<br>
Body: Hi,<br>
<br>
this is a bugfix for the rendering of utf8 characters. The handling of signed / unsigned was incorrect. As a result only 7bit characters were rendered, though in general the code was ok for 8bit characters.<br>
<br>
cc Steven and JC, since I don't know if the "KItware" user reads pull requests.<br>
