[Vtigercrm-developers] Please help - How does the Open Source development works about VTiger?

[Richard Hills - TechnologyWise]

You can of course submit code here, I guess you could create your own 
project and keep updating that every time vtiger upgrades, but what I am 
missing that I have experienced in other open source projects is the 
communication with core developers and the ability to add to current 
builds, for example I am sure vtiger 6 is being worked on steadily, but 
I have not yet seen anything but some mock ups.
