How do I join the github organization and start contributing

The subject says it all. I am an experience C++ developer who would like to work on Wesnoth, but I am not 100% sure how to join the github organization.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Ershany

As far as I know (I'm not a developer) to start you can simply fork the repository, work on your fork (I would recommend a suitably named feature branch for the feature you want to contribute), and then open a pull-request from that branch to master (or the 1.12 branch for bugfixes relevant for that branch).

After some good pull requests you are usually given commit rights.

Also, join channel #wesnoth-dev on http://webchat.freenode.net and talk to the developers about your work on advance, they don't seem to visit the forums too often.
