Bug submission procedure

Bug submission procedure

I've poured through everything on the site about development, enhancements, etc., but I may very well have missed the information I seek.  If so, be easy on me (an RTFM is certainly appropriate) and point me to enlightenment.

What's the process to submit patches, enhancements (Moodle, that is), etc.?  I know about the bug database, but are the Moodle gurus also expecting code to be posted here as well?  Or is submitting to the bug DB enough to get picked up and reviewed?  I don't want to be duplicating efforts if it's not necessary.

The short answer is "yes".

If you have patches to fix a bug, file the bug in the database, and attach the bug. It's better than to do it here: the bug database assigns the bug to someone, and that developer should deal with the issue. No-one owns anything in the forums ;)

People writing new functionality, however, do prefer to post their patches in the forums. It's easier to gather interest by making a call to beta-testers to drive your new code.

Either way, post it somewhere. Nag people to look at it and critizise it.
