How do you contribute additional libraries/components/code w/
documentation that is not part of the core libraries?

Expanding Leledumbo's reply.  Lazarus-CCR is one place for code
contributions.  Not the only, many people manage their own open source
projects.  I'm really chiming in for the documentation side of your
question though.  The wiki is a community driven project, and is
specifically designed to help cover lack of official documentation. 
Contributing to the wiki would be a great help.  The wiki covers
Lazarus, Lazarus-CCR and many independent open source
projects/libraries.

I am not fuzzed.

I think it would be wise if someone made a copycat of CodeProject and
focus on FPC only. In such a place I could write an article, someone
else could grab my work and write a new article etc. A larger project
like FCP and Lazarus need some dissiplin and control, but that should
not hold back the community from exchaning ideas and work - and a
forum/wiki is not sufficient for this imo.

Well, you could always start such a endeavor yourself?  Personally I'm
not sure how this differs from the wiki.

I would not mind assisting with Wiki examples on things I struggle
with, but I am not sure how to do it.

The "Getting involved" section on this project is hard to find!

Sorry for the delay responding - spent the weekend fighting a battle
against food poisoning.


I'll dig out some links for you.  There should be somewhere in the
wiki for "Getting involved".   Certainly I picked up all I know from
somewhere, I assumed the wiki.  If it's not there, or not in a single
coordinated place, then I'll stick something together.


Hmm, I've had a quick look with no result.  Yup, a "Getting Involved"
page is a good idea, I'll bash something together tonight.
