Hi, IOhannes,
That all sounds great. I have been working a lot with Gem this week and will be submitting many patches, many of them small to get started, but important IMHO.
I can push to my own repo online then send you a request to pull from that. However, I guess that depends on how much time you have in your hands. The rw access to the main repo is the fastest way for small changes that you can later review through the commit log at your leisure, so I annoy you less, and so that the community can get the changes quickly. I could even agree with you to commit medium to large changes on a specific branch. We can spend some time building trust, but I have been working fine with Hans and Lluis on pd extended, so you can take their opinion to begin with.
Here is a 1-line patch to Output/Makefile.am, but very significant since it fixes broken Gem builds with newer automake:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3429037&group_id=64...
I have already mailed that Makefile.am out to a few people who can't wait for the main repo to be updated (I work on a distributed team).. It would be nice to have a faster track as mentioned above for these sorts of small fixes to reach the community. Hans can testify that I have properly asked him for permission before committing further things to pd-extended, you can bet I will also be acting carefully with the Gem source code.
Best, Ricardo Fabbri -- Linux registered user #175401 labmacambira.sf.net

Great to hear, Ricardo!
indeed, thanks for volunteering.
No worries about which platform you work on, most of the dev work is for all platforms. All contributions are helpful. A good place to start is bugs like this:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3425455&group_id=643...
Basically, a lot of help patches have paths to the example media, like images and movies, in the old location. Now, Gem is distributed as a all-in-one folder, so the paths can be updated to be relative paths and they'll work on all platforms and installs.
couldn't have said that better :-) check both the bugs and feature-request trackers for a good start...
the big TODO for 0.94 is window management: partly running code can be found in src/Output, but i still :-( have to write a round-up of how i think it should work in the end and how to try out what is already there
