How to Contribute
</h2>
<div class="entry">
<p>
<em>tcpdump</em> and <em>libpcap</em> are open
source software and anyone can make contributions.
You can help by:
</p>
<ul>
<li>downloading and testing <em>libpcap</em>
and <em>tcpdump</em> on your platform</li>
<li>contributing code</li>
<li>proofreading the documentation and the man pages</li>
<li>providing <code>.pcap</code> files for protocols or protocol
features that tcpdump supports, but does not test yet</li>
<li>helping to improve the <a href="ci.html">continuous
integration</a> scripts and infrastructure</li>
</ul>
<p>
If you want to contribute, please subscribe to the
<a href="#mailing-lists">tcpdump-workers</a> mailing
list. It's a good idea to discuss bugfixes and new
feature additions in advance, because the changes
may have bigger implications than you think and
your patch may not get accepted.
