<p>You can help the project in various ways, the best thing to do first is to
subscribe to the mailing-list as explained before, check the <a href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/">archives </a>and the <a href="http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?product=libxml">Gnome bug
database</a>:</p>
<ol>
<li>Provide patches when you find problems.</li>
  <li>Provide the diffs when you port libxml to a new platform. They may not
    be integrated in all cases but help pinpointing portability problems
  and</li>
  <li>Provide documentation fixes (either as patches to the code comments or
    as HTML diffs).</li>
  <li>Provide new documentations pieces (translations, examples, etc ...).</li>
  <li>Check the TODO file and try to close one of the items.</li>
  <li>Take one of the points raised in the archive or the bug database and
    provide a fix. <a href="mailto:daniel@veillard.com">Get in touch with me
    </a>before to avoid synchronization problems and check that the suggested
    fix will fit in nicely :-)</li>
