Hey all, <br>
<br>
I've never done this before... New to the whole open source
community. I sent links to the new repositories, and I was just
wondering what I need to do next... The P2OS driver is meant to
replace the broken-since-fuerte package that currently exists. <br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div style>Great!

My question: how do I go about announcing this, and how do I modify
the wiki so that it knows my package exists? <br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div style>Whether your are using catkin or rosbuild, you can get your package documented on the wiki by following these instructions:</div>
<div style><br></div><div style><a href="http://www.ros.org/wiki/Get%20Involved#Indexing_Your_.2A-ros-pkg_Repository_for_Documentation_Generation">http://www.ros.org/wiki/Get%20Involved#Indexing_Your_.2A-ros-pkg_Repository_for_Documentation_Generation</a><br>
</div><div style><br></div><div style>If you are replacing a package with the same name, then I would first say you need to get in contact with the author of the current package and see if he is ok with you doing that. If he is, or you cannot get a hold of him, then you can release your version for new versions of ROS OR you can release your package under a slightly different name. Either way the above link will get your code into the <a href="http://ros.org/wiki">ros.org/wiki</a>. If you choose to release your package under a different name (to prevent confusion) you can edit the current p2os wiki page to point to your new p2os driver: <a href="http://ros.org/wiki/p2os">ros.org/wiki/p2os</a></div>

Any and all advice is welcome! I have been using ROS for a while
now, and I'm excited to contribute to such an amazing piece of
open-source software. I'd also like to help with the REP's, but
don't know how to get started.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div style>The REP's are usually championed by a SIG, a list of which is here:</div><div style><br></div><div style><a href="http://ros.org/wiki/sig">http://ros.org/wiki/sig</a><br>
</div><div style><br></div><div style>There are some REP's that are not associated with SIG's, however, so you can see a list of proposed changes and additions to all the REP's here:</div><div style><br></div>
