Sorry I don't know what bottom posting is and yes I'm using Gmail.
Bottom posting means posting a reply after the original author's comment
so that it maintains the flow of the conversation. It's easier for
others to follow, and one can intersperse other hunks of text...
I have cloned developers sources using mercurial and built it successfully.
Like this. That's something not possible when top posting.
On the topic of contributing, one other thing one can do to become
familiar with development practice is to read through some of the more
recent changesets:
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/
That will give you examples of indentation, spacing, syntax and
documentation style. Some changesets are big, some are small, but they
are supposed to be atomic, meaning only one bug fix or new feature at a
time. Doing so aids tracking down any bugs inadvertently introduced
while try to fix some other problem.
