<h2 class="chapter">14 Contributing to GCC Development</h2>

<p>If you would like to help pretest GCC releases to assure they work well,
current development sources are available by SVN (see
<a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/svn.html">http://gcc.gnu.org/svn.html</a>).  Source and binary snapshots are
also available for FTP; see <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/snapshots.html">http://gcc.gnu.org/snapshots.html</a>.

 <p>If you would like to work on improvements to GCC, please read the
advice at these URLs:
