+Bugs, Patches and Requested Features can be submitted via the Sourceforge
+tracker system. Please read through the sections below.
+
+<h2>Bug reporting</h2>
+
+<p>
+Click on <a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=55736&atid=478070">Submit Bug</a> to submit a bug against one of the subprojects.
+</p>
+<p>
+It is important that you assign the bug to the correct subproject. This
+is done by selecting the appropriate Category from the category tab. Before
+submitting a bug report, you might check if the bug you encountered hasn't been
+reported already by looking at the <a href=http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=55736&atid=478070>open bug reports</a> page.
+</p>
+Please, before reporting a bug, try out the latest version of the software.
+
+<h2>Patches</h2>
+
+<p> 
+This tracker is a collection of up to date patches (patches that apply
+cleanly against the latest version of Pd. The latest version can either be
+found as a <a href="http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/Software/">downloadable file on Miller Puckettes site</a> or in the <a href="http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/pure-data/pd/">HEAD branch of the CVS</a>. 
+</p>
+<br>
+<p>
+The main purpose of the patches tracker is to make it easier to incorporate
+new features and bug fixes into the Pd core. Including new stuff may take some
+time, and the inclusion of some features might not get accepted. The final
+decision if your patch gets accepted is in the hands of Miller. If you
+think your patch has been forgotten, please communicate it on the pd
+developers list or to Miller directly.
+</p>
+<br>
+<p>
+If your patch is a bug fix, please choose the category "bugfix" in order
+to mark it clearly.
+</p>
+<br>
+<p>
+All patches need to have a detailed description. This can later be used
+to decide if the patch can go into the main Pd distribution or not, and
+should also minimize the work that has to be done in order to adapt new
+ideas. Click to <a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=55736&atid=478072">Submit a patch</a>.
+</p>
+<br>
+<p>
+If you submit a patch, take care that you only send the parts that have to
+be changed. Formatting changes and changes in whitespace will only make the
+patch less readable. Send the patch in unified diff format.<br>
+<br>
+e.g. from a CVS directory:
+<br>
+<br>
+cvs diff -uBw > cool_feature.patch
+<br>
+The patches collection might also be useful for users, as it makes it possible
+to get the freshest bugfixes and new features that didn't make it into the  
+main distribution yet.
+<a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=55736&atid=478072">Check out the patches</a>.
+
+<h2>Feature Requests</h2>
+
+<p>
+There is also a tracker for feature requests. A feature request can be sent if
+you are missing a functionality, but you don't know how to code it. This could
+be an additional external or functionality of the Pd core.
+</p>
+Click <a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=55736&atid=478073">Add Feature Request</a> to add a new feature request.
+<br>
+<a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=55736&atid=478073">Take a look at the feature requests"</a> that are already registered.
