[Phpmyadmin-devel] Contributing in phpmyadmin

Hi all, I wanted to contribute to phpmyadmin. Basically I am an experienced php, javascript web developer but have very less idea about contributing in open source. I have seen the source on github, so in order to contribute something, do I just fork the repository, commit changes & send pull requests? Is that contributing in open source community of phpmyadmin? Thanks, Gopi
