Once Slicer3 is downloaded from the Subversion Control (SVN) server, you contribute codes by committing them back to SVN. The following set of steps will lead you through this process:

==How to obtain Slicer 3 codes from SVN ==

The Slicer3 svn repository sits in a server at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. You can checkout codes by:

svn co http://www.na-mic.org/svn/Slicer3/trunk Slicer3

'''You don't need to obtain an account discussed below''' if you don't commit codes back to the sever, but we enthusiastically invite you to do so.

== How to commit codes ==

First, fill the form at https://www.kitware.com/Admin/SendPassword.cgi and under Comment type "Request password for Slicer". Once you have access to write to SVN, you can work with repository using the following commands:

To update repository:

svn update

To check current state of your edits:

svn status

To check the current state compared to the repository:

svn -u status

To add new file:

svn add filename

followed by (very important):

svn commit -m"ENH: Adding a new file" filename

To remove file:

svn remove filename

To rename file:

svn move oldname newname

If the update results in conflict, fix the file first before commiting it.

Once you have fixed the file:

svn resolved <filename>

==GUI tools for eash SVN handling==
It is handy to use GUI tool for SVN. I particulary like a cross-platform GUI tool called [http://rapidsvn.tigris.org/ RapidSVN].
