How to Contribute
If you take issue with something in Yesod or want to see an improvement, get rid of the idea that there is a barrier between your application and the framework, and make the framework better! Start changing things, and ask for help with it.
If you are looking to make contributions with a big impact, we have some improvements layed out on the TODO and WishList pages.
Yesod code lives on github under the yesodweb organization. It consists mainly of a few "mega" repos called hamlet, persistent, wai, and yesod. Each of these contains multiple cabal packages that can all be installed with the ./install-all.sh script. If you are working on something in yesod, you may need to install all the other repos.
Particularly if you are encountering a defect, you may want to check the issues list first. If you are adding a new feature you may want to first discuss it on web-devel or at least search to see if it has already been discussed.
You can get help with contributions from authors and maintainers by contacting them or Michael directly, or on the web-devel list, or you can also try the IRC channel Freenode#yesod
