If you can +take the time to pick a bug, try to reproduce it and follow up either +confirming that the problem exists, or asking the submitter for more info, +you'll make Joey more productive! + +## code contributions + +[[download]] the source code and send patches! + +If you know Haskell, git-annex has lots of Haskell code that +could be improved.
