[vtk-developers] Best way to contribute to VTK ? - Fwd: [GitHub] nolden sent you a pull request from nolden/VTK

[Jean-Christophe Fillion-Robin]

Hi Folks,

Since VTK souce code is available using Git, the repository can be forked
very easily and people can contribute quite easily.

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.

Beside of the following page http://www.vtk.org/VTK/project/getinvolved.html,
Is there any documentation available regarding the "contribution" workflow ?

Is the mailing list the preferred way to share contribution ?
Will the ownership of the original "patcher" be maintained ?

I added Marco in CC, feel free to answer that email and let him know the
best way to share his work.

Thks
Jc

nolden wants you to pull from nolden/VTK at 9ba9588

Body: Hi,

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.

cc Steven and JC, since I don't know if the "KItware" user reads pull
requests.
