The Project
Take responsibility for your own projects and never expect other people to do your work for you. If they do help out take it as a bonus and be grateful.

There are cases where people involved with a Wesnoth add-on's development need to keep their work in sync with each other, keep track of the change history on their add-on, or simply need a secure back-up of their data.
The Coordinated Wesnoth UMC Development project (also known as Wesnoth-UMC-Dev) at SourceForge.net is aimed to solve these issues. The purpose of the Wesnoth-UMC-Dev project is to provide a shared repository for collaboration on Wesnoth UMC development. Having your project in this repo also means it will be periodically backed up, its change history will be preserved, and someone else can take it up if you abandon it.
Although we do not impose any quality standards in the add-ons hosted in the repository, it should be noted that the campaigns Legend of Wesmere, Delfador's Memoirs and Dead Water were once hosted in the repository to allow the mainline campaign maintainers to help the UMC developers to polish those campaigns and turn them into acceptable candidates for mainlining.
Other well-known add-ons hosted in the repository include the campaign Invasion from the Unknown, the Era of Strife and The Dark Hordes.
Please note that despite the involvement of some mainline developers in the project, the Battle for Wesnoth Project does not endorse, support or sponsor the Wesnoth-UMC-Dev Project directly.
Getting Involved
There are many ways to help the Wesnoth-UMC-Dev project and the developers of its set of add-ons.
Authors can...
- Apply and maintain their own add-on, or perhaps apply for taking over an abandoned one from the repository.
- Collaborate with each other!
Players can...
- Checkout add-ons for their version of Wesnoth using the SVN client available for their platform.
- Comment on add-ons in the respective forum threads, or on the IRC channel.
- Translate add-ons that are exported to the WesCamp-i18n project by contacting Torangan. They can also bug the add-on maintainers to export an add-on for internationalization if it isn't the case already.
- Contribute art for their add-on of preference.
- Report any bugs they may find when testing add-ons.
Policies
To bring some order to the initial chaos, it was required to establish some strict rules and soft guidelines upon what a developer may do, should do and must not do with his or her own add-on in the repository, or the rest of the repository. Remember that your liberty is limited by how much it can limit other people's liberty.
