For a meaningful bug report, proceed as follows: 1. Check in the [http://mary.opendfki.de/query?group=status&milestone=4.0 list of known bugs] whether the bug has been reported already; 1. If you cannot find it, create a [http://mary.opendfki.de/newticket new ticket] containing the following information: * operating system and java version used; * what to do to reproduce the error; * expected behaviour; * detailed log files, i.e. an excerpt of MARY TTS/log/server.log containing the error episode. 1. Discuss the problem on the [http://www.dfki.de/mailman/listinfo/mary-users MARY user mailing list]. == Mailing List == If you use the MARY system, you can subscribe to the [http://dfki.de/mailman/listinfo/mary-users mary-users mailing list]. Topics that should be discussed here include: * How to use the MARY system: run the server, start the client, save audio, run MARY in standalone mode, etc. * Suggestions for improvement, bug reports, feature requests (no guarantees of course that anyone has time to do it). The [http://www.dfki.de/mailman/listinfo/mary-dev MARY developers mailing list] is for discussions around the MARY TTS source code: * Improvements of the core MARY code; * issues around attempts to build new language components and voices; * issues arising when integrating MARY TTS into other code. == Contributions == People interested in adding support for a language in MARY TTS can contact Marc Schröder (schroed at dfki.de). We can discuss whether you want to do your development on your own servers or in a branch on the MARY SVN repository. Once it is sufficiently mature, your contribution could be merged into the trunk and become part of a future MARY TTS release. Any pronunciation corrections are welcome on the PronunciationCorrections page. == Trac == This development environment is built using [wiki:TracGuide Trac].
