I've tried contributing to it, but several factors makes it really hard.

They includes:

  - Poor documentation
  - Broken build scripts for some of the open source version
  - Lack of support on forum/IRC
  - Project still uses SVN
  - Procedure for submitting patch is very archaic
I personally would love to see them move to Github. It would make contributing much easier.



Isn't the choice of a version control systema a too low barrier to prevent anyone from contributing? I'd think that actual technical skills required in the VM domain area plus language skills would be a much greater barrier to entry, isn't so? Do we need everything to be so perfect?
