So you want to help out the FreeTDS Project? We greatly appreciate all offers. There are a number of ways to help and this page will let you know about them.
 
If you are a programmer and wish to contribute code, please join our Mailing List. Preferred form for patches is a context diffs against the current CVS tree. If you have submitted patches in the past and want to get a CVS account for direct checkin ask James.
 
If your C skills aren't up to snuff, but you still want to help, consider pitching in on the FreeTDS documentation. If something didn't make sense when you read it, let us know. Or if you want to detail how you got a specific configuration working, send it in and we'll include it in the User Guide, so those that come after you will have an easier time.
 
If on the other hand you simply want to donate money to the FreeTDS Project, we also graciously accept donations via PayPal. Just click on the button below. These funds will be used for purchases of software and hardware specifically needed by those who work on FreeTDS. In particular, our current needs include VMWare, Win2K Server (to complete domain login support), and SQL Server 2000 (for TDS 8.0 support). We will provide a detailed accounting of how these funds are spent to any contributor who requests it.
