3 As of March 25th, 2011 the Wonder source code is now maintained on [GitHub|https://github.com/] at [https://github.com/projectwonder]. You'll need to be familiar with the [Git|http://git-scm.com/] Source Code Management system. [Here's|WO:Getting Started with Git] a good place to start. You will use Git to checkout a local copy of the repository (a "clone" in Git terms) allowing you to have direct access to the Wonder source.

7 Instead of constantly re-downloading and installing the latest Wonder binaries you should work directly with the latest source code. It has several advantages including:
8
9 * You'll learn a lot about WebObjects, EOF and Object-Oriented Patterns
10 * Easily search, browse and even modify and improve Wonder
11 * Work with a specific revision, which is key for teams, quality control and development cycles
12 * Add logging statements in Wonder source so you can better understand what is going when tracking down hard to find bugs
13 * Discover the many Hidden Treasures of Wonder.
