The LBackup development process is open to any one. If you are interested in LBackup development or you are a developer then visit the developer page.

The LBackup project is a dictatorship. The dictators are the developers who work at Lucid Information Systems. These key developers like to think of themselves as both approachable and reasonable. As such, they believe that it is highly important to listen to suggestions, bug reports and general feedback.

Below is a brief outline of what aspects of the LBackup project require attention:

• LBackup Software Development.
• Creation of LBackup Tutorials.
• Translation of Documentation.
• An easy way for users of LBackup to say who they are and how they use the software.
• Developer Documentation.
• Installers for various platforms.
• Deployment of a bug tracking system.
• Join one or more of the LBackup mailing lists.
• A really simple setup guide for completely new users.
• Editing of this documentation.
• Easier deployment procedures.

LBackup is licensed under the GNU GPL. Therefore we welcome bug fixes enhancements and re-factored code. Currently there is no centralized code repository. This is because most of the developers use git for source control management. If you have a patch you wish to submit then please contact Lucid for submission instructions.

1. Check the development page or work out what feature you would like to add.
2. Make your changes to the code.
3. Test the code with your changes.
4. Submit the code back to us. Please include a brief description of what your patch is doing.

Once we receive your patch, the code will be audited. With any luck your improvements will show up in the next release of LBackup.

If you find a security issue with LBackup, please contact the maintainers in private first.

If you think you have found a bug, please report it via email or the mailing lists.
