Puppet users - May 2012 - Looking for a path into the innards of the Puppet Firewall Module @ The Forge

For a few reasons:

There is a missing bit of functionality that is important to me.
I know WHAT I want to fox, but I do not know HOW.

Also, if I am understanding how this module operates, I have ideas for other
modules that use the same base methods.

So, I am looking for either the folks that wrote this module or someone who can
help me understand it enough for me to make some enhancements to it myself.

Please help me help the Puppet community !

Thanks.

I recently submitted a pull request for a fairly basic feature.  I started
out by editing spec/fixtures/iptables/conversion_hash.rb and
spec/unit/puppet/type/firewall_spec.rb to add in tests for what I wanted
then worked backwards from there by copying existing code, modifying it a
bit and running until the tests passed.  I recommend it as a way of getting
started!

Failing that if you visit irc.freenode.net/#puppet I''m in there as ashp
and
can attempt to answer specific questions about it.  I''ll be the first
to
admit I have -no- idea what I''m doing but I stumbled through enough to
add
something so I might be able to help you go in the same direction.
