All First, you will likely want to subscribe to the following BigBlueButton mailing-lists: *http://groups.google.com/group/bigbluebutton-dev*http://groups.google.com/group/bigbluebutton-setup*http://groups.google.com/group/bigbluebutton-users Next, since all of the source code for BigBlueButton is hosted on GitHub.
