We are always interested to receive patches from willing contributors,
especially for drivers like VirtualBox which do not have a large active
set of people contributing.

For first-time contributors to libvirt the best place to start is reading
the "hacking" guidelines:

   http://libvirt.org/hacking.html

My specific top points for new contributors people are

 - Always make patches against latest git master

 - Create a series of patches (commits), each patch focusing on solving
   a specific self-contained problem, rather than 1 single huge patch.

 - Ensure 'make syntax-check' passes after applying each patch

 - Use 'git send-email' to send series of well formatted emails with
   each patch  (if you've not used it before, play with it by telling
   it to send the maill to yourself first :-)


Regards,
Daniel
