How can I contribute? == CORE is open source; if you find CORE useful for your work, please contribute back to the project. Contributions can be as simple as reporting a bug, dropping a line of encouragement or technical suggestions to the [http://pf.itd.nrl.navy.mil/mailman/listinfo/core-users mailing] [http://pf.itd.nrl.navy.mil/mailman/listinfo/core-dev lists], or can also include submitting patches or maintaining aspects of the tool. Patches must conform to the [Hacking code standards guide].
