How can I contribute to Erlang?
When you write Erlang code you want to share, there are quite a number of ways to share it. The place to announce such things is the Erlang Questions mailing list, or, in the case of patches, the Erlang Patches mailing list. Where you put the actual code is up to you. If your code is a modification to an existing part of OTP, attach a patch to your post to the erlang-patches mailing list. There’s some useful general advice on making and sharing patches here. The OTP group is quite conservative about including such code, especially if it requires new test cases to be written, so expect it to take a long time (months or years) for your code to find its way into the official distribution.
