<!--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.

<!--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>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>
