Contributions are welcome! To get started with FlashDevelop development:
- install a SVN client (we suggest TortoiseSVN)
http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/
- download the source from the SVN repository
http://svn1.cvsdude.com/osflash/flashdevelop
- install the free SharpDevelop IDE (FD 2.0 source is compatible with SharpDevelop 1.1)
http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/
- start building your local copy
Start with PluginCore, then FlashDevelop (it will build the default plugins too), then your own plugins.

Just to clarify...
I installed SharpDevelop, downloaded the source, compiled everything in the order listed. Running the .exe at that point gave me a million errors, mostly about settings.
So, I copied my settings, docs and library folder in from my regular install folder. that got it to run ok, but couldn't create a new doc. then copied in scilexer.dll and all seems to be working fine. Anything else I should be aware of?

Sorry I didn't mention it:
You have to unzip the file FlashDevelop/general/binContents.zip in your bin/Release folder.

May I suggest to include Developer Readme file in the source which has details about Plugin development, and the BinContent.zip, etc.
I can also write something about developing and debugging plugin development in Visual Studio -- I am too used to having a debugger that I can use to step through the code, and it speeds my development.

I´d like to say that the beta8 is great, you guys are doing an excellent work!
I just wish there were more documentation on the methods you use for the shared libraries and pre-loader though it is not really necessary at the moment.
Cheers,
- Marcelo.

Excellent application by the way. I only stumbled upon it last week and was blown away by the feature set and the blazingly fast AS editing. nice work! 
After downloading and building all the source, I ran into the problem of not having the settings myself, but it was easy enough to get around.
As far as plugins are concerned, the basic set that comes with beta8 are excellent, but I do see areas that can definitely be enhanced. It seems like most of those have one or two authors, but being on SVN are they open for anyone to work on and commit changes to?

I answered the setting problem upper in this thread: "you have to unzip the file FlashDevelop/general/binContents.zip in your bin/Release folder."
Currently only the core team can upload changes to the SVN. You can send us your modifications (see team members). Developpers are welcomed into the team (Nick joined us quite recently) if they show their motivation - Mika has the final decision regarding this question.

Sorry about the SVN url (I fixed it). It was changed not long ago and we thought we had corrected them all...

Found the correct link Nevermind, I found the correct svn repo link at http://osflash.org/doku.php?id=flashdev ... urce_links
It looks like it downloads the repo, but when I check the local folder it's empty.
