How to update a plug-in once the code is written?

[Leonardo Guizzetti]

Hi everyone,

My name is Lenny and I'm a Ph.D. candidate in Medical Biophysics.

I've taken the liberty of updating the Colocalization Threshold plugin (part
of the rolled-up plugins in the MacMaster Biophotonics plugin package). As
someone completely new to version control systems, how do you suggest I put
forth the new plug-in code? Should I just email the author(s) ?

Thanks,

Lenny

Yep, that is one good idea. Speaking of the Colocalisation Threshold
plugin, we also made some (miniscule) changes to unbreak it for newer
ImageJ versions in Fiji:

(you can see the history of that file within Fiji's version control system
by clicking on the 'history' link, first in the second line on that page)

Ciao,
