Developing Qt
The Qt Project is a meritocratic consensus-based community interested in Qt. Anyone who shares that interest can join the community, participate in its decision making processes, and contribute to Qt’s development. The mailing-list for development of Qt (as opposed to developing with Qt) is development@qt-project.org
This wiki holds guidelines and documentation regarding code contributions to Qt. For an overview over all different ways to contribute to the Qt Project, please take a look at our "home page":http://qt.io.
