[Phpmyadmin-devel] Regarding IRC channel and bug fixes through email.

Hey, I am interestted in participating in summer of code this year. I was wondering what the PMA irc channel is ? Are you guys on freenode ? Next as with many colleges, because of the way they provide internet to their hostlers, I am unable to send a git pull request cause the ssh connections are blocked. So I was wondering if you guys would accept bug patches as unix diff command results mailed to you ? Regards, Aditya
