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 Note, that you need to subscribe to the list before sending messages to it.
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.
