+To clone Tracks:
+
+<pre>
+<code>
+mkdir ~/dev/tracks
+cd ~/dev/tracks
+git clone git://github.com/TracksApp/tracks.git
+</code>
+</pre>
+
+Or you can sign up for a free account on github and fork Tracks using the convenient button. 
+
+For help with running the tests, see [[http://www.getontracks.org/wiki/Testing/]]
+
+If (when!) you produce a cool new feature or fix a bug, create a patch. If you develop in a branch called 'experiment':
+
+<pre>
+<code>
+git diff master..experiment > my_feature.patch 
+</code>
+</pre>
+
+Then attach my_feature.patch to a ticket.
+
+If you are on github, you can use the button to issue a pull request for your changes to be pulled into the main repository.
+
+If you've found a bug or got a feature to suggest, visit the Tracks "Assembla space":http://www.assembla.com/spaces/tracks-tickets/ and create a ticket. You'll need to create an account on Assembla (see "wiki":http://www.assembla.com/wiki/show/alWI9M0eWr3zoYab7jnrAJ for details of how to do this).
+
+Thanks!
