A new core developer should do the following things to get set-up:
- Read through the ["Cytostaff Development"] pages
- Get an account on the CVS server (ssh access) - Ideker Lab
- Sign up for the core mailing list. See: ["How to update the mailing list"]
- Sign up to all Cytoscape Google groups, currently cytoscape-discuss and cytoscape-announce. All Cytoscape core developers are expected to answer questions posted to Cytoscape discuss to share the workload.
- Familiarize yourself with how this wiki works, as we are trying to use it to communicate better during the development process.
Create a new account on the [http://cbio.mskcc.org/cytoscape/bugs/main_page.php bug tracker] for yourself and communicate this to the list so that a bug tracker administrator (currently Ethan or Gary) can assign you to a 'developer' role so that you can edit and assign yourself bugs.
