 Hello Brian and welcome to the list!

 You should clone master, as only bug fixes are done in the 3.2 branch,
and make the changes there, then create a PR for merging your branch into
the upstream (i.e. wxWidgets/wxWidgets repository on GitHub) master.

 I can't think of anything particularly important to know, but running the
test suite locally is strongly recommended. It's also nice to use wxWidgets
coding style in the new code (it's basically "the same as in the rest of
the code", or, somewhat more explicitly, 4 space indent, opening braces on
their own lines and spaces between operators and opening parentheses) as we
don't impose it automatically.

 And, of course, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask,
either here or on wx-dev mailing list (although I might not be able to
answer quickly right now as I'm on vacation).

 Thanks and good luck!
