+# Checkout svn
+       
+       svn co http://svn.luci.subsignal.org/luci/trunk
+       
+and change to that directory:
+       
+       cd trunk
+       
+# Make your changes
+
+Edit the files you want to change. If you add some new files you need to add them to the svn tree:
+       
+       svn add <dir/files>
+       
+Where <dir/files> are the directories/files you have added. Its possible to specify multiple files/directories here.
+
+# Use svn diff to generate a patch with your changes
+
+To check if your changes look ok first do:
+       
+       svn diff <dir/files>
+       
+and check the output. Again you can specify multiple dirs/directories here.
+
+If everything looks like expected save the patch:
+       
+       svn diff <dir/files> > ./mypatch.patch
+       
+
+# Submit patches
+
+Use the [Ticket system](http://luci.subsignal.org/trac/newticket) to submit your patch.
