<p>Hi Free Pascal team.<br /><br /><br />I'm a long term FPC user and ethusiast of Pascal language and it is my preferred language. In my working day I'm used to coding with C/C++ or even Java sometimes but in fact Pascal is my only real "love".<br /><br />One week ago I received some good news from MSX community, that FPC team is working on Z80 support to FPC (https://wiki.freepascal.org/Z80) and I already built this version (I faced some problems to build but is something that I could help too).<br /><br />The reason why I entered this forum is because I'm very interested and excited to help FPC team to improve Z80 support and even adding support to MSX computers, because I have a big library made to be compatible with Turbo Pascal 3.0 for (CP/M80 and MSXDOS) and this library has a very complete support to several technologies related to MSX Computers (specific crt and conio support, memory mapped management system, DiskIO functions, IDE devices support, graphics support (soon) and so on).<br /><br />I would like to know, what are the steps I need to follow to start contributing with FPC team, (things like about coding style, code patterns) and all necessary documentation to stay tunned with other teams members direction.</p>
