 ## Introduction
 
 A patch is exactly what the word says: a small piece of code used to repair a breach. It is normally a plain 
text file containing only the differences between the current version of the code and the fixed version.

team what the patch is doing:
 
 *   Is it closing bugs?
 *   Is it a enhancement?
 *   What are the changes in the code?
 *   Are there any know problems with the patch?
 
-If you have a patch that is closing bugs then you can attach the patch to the bug/bugs explaining what the 
patch is doing. You can also inform the gimp-developer mailing list about the closed bug but avoid to attach 
the patch to the mail sent to the list, instead put the bug links in the mail where the attached patch is 
located.

 1.  Test the patch locally on your own machine and look if it closes the bug there.

 list.

 Now you just have to wait for the developers and maintainers to look at the patch and see if this is really 
closing the bug and if it might open new bugs. If everything is fine it will be implemented in a release done 
soon either stable or development version.
 
 #### How about enhancements?
 
-Start a new bug report, mark it as enhancement and put the patch in that report on Bugzilla. This will give 
developers a good explanation of why you did the patch and how the patch changes GIMP source or adds new 
things to it. The only thing you need to add to the report is that it is an enhancement and explain the patch 
a little bit. A simple way to this is to:
