Re: [Phpgroupware-users] Forced Preferences

[Daryl L. L. Houston]

I'm pretty sure I did.  I've gone ahead and redownloaded the 9.16 tree, and 
the calendar prefs seem to be working.  I should be able to work from those 
files and update the project prefs as needed.  This of course brings up 
another question: How do I submit modifications to be considered for folding 
back into the source?  Some of the things I'm working on include the ability 
to accept or reject calendar events by clicking links in the email, 
notifications sent to relevant folk upon creation or completion of a new 
project, etc.  I'll be happy to make my modifications available if they're 
deemed suitable, but I'm not sure how I should go about doing so.  Thanks,

D
