Also for you, it can be very rewarding to program improvements for the paparazzi. Paparazzi is a large project with years of development so it can be a daunting challenge to edit the source code but your efforts will be rewarded as the community will use your changes, all in an effort to improve Paparazzi software.

			Details and tips on contributing the source code can be found here: https://github.com/paparazzi/paparazzi/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md
