! Notice bugs and security issues
__help hold up to date RFE, bugfixes, support, security issues__
Requests For Enhancement is a chronological list of wishes from anyone. That means that there is no priority ordering. Someone that just spend some hours listing RFE can notice unlogical or redundant things, and can help sorting them out with comments. 
For __security issues__ the bugs database has a special category. Do not publish any exploit code, but send a mail to security@tiki.org that is composed of admin plus some tiki contributors known for their expertise in security field.

Please see http://dev.tiki.org for feature requests & bugs.

!I have written some code for tiki
__contribute a patch__
If it's a bugfix, a RFE answer, or a magic-new-feature, your code is gold. Prepare it with the attention it deserves : verify seven times that it won't break anything if it's used. If you have no access to the cvs, you can post your patch to the sourceforge patch page, or send it to an experienced tikiwiki developer for review, if you know one (come on irc if you wish to meet some).
*__propose a patch__

Please see http://dev.tiki.org for patches.
