<p>
  <!--Consider using ''Isues'' in github to bring all  development to the
  same location?-->  
  <a href="https://github.com/Isarhamster/chessx">Github</a> is   
  used to manage
  development. <a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/chessx/bugs/">SourceForge 
  Bugs</a> is used to  keep track of bug reports and feature requests.  
</p>

<p>
  <!--Modified from: https://sourceforge.net/p/chessx/wiki/Fetch%20the%20Code/
  --> 
  If you want to participate in development,  fork and check
  out <a href="https://github.com/Isarhamster/chessx">ChessX's source code</a>
  with git, or the GitHub desktop. This allows you to send pull 
  requests after completing your tasks. This is the easiest way to get changes
  implemented into mainstream ChessX. Please, sign up to
  the <a href="http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/chessx-developer">developer's
  mailing list</a> and introduce yourself.  
</p>

<p>The code uses the <a href="https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/">Qt library</a>. To
  compile from source, <em>Qt 5.14.1</em> or later is  required. </p>

<p>
  All classes are documented using <a href="https://www.doxygen.nl/index.html">Doxygen</a>.
</p>

<p>For a long time, ChessX development was pushed forward by <strong>Michal Rudolf</strong>.</p>
<p>Currently, there are two active ChessX developers: <strong>James Coons</strong> and current maintainer <strong>Jens Nissen</strong>. The main tester and usability expert is <strong>Bruno Rizzuti</strong>.</p>
<p>Among inactive developers we would like to mention <strong>Marius
    Roets</strong>, <strong>Sean Estabrooks</strong>, <strong>Rico
    Zenklusen</strong>, <strong>William Hoggarth</strong> and <strong>Ejner
    Borgbjerg</strong> who wrote significant parts of code. <strong>Heinz
    Hopfgartner</strong> made useful tests and maintained the OS X port.</p>
