The best way is to put together a ticket on our trac system, and attach 
the changes as a diff file. Here is how to do that:

<http://wiki.lyceum.ibiblio.org/index.php/Trac_Guide>

If you need help with generating a diff file, let me know.

If you change existing functions, it will probably be safe for 
your own installation, but probably won't be code that we can 
easily integrate into Lyceum as we aim to maintain behavior 
identical to WordPress.

However, adding your own functions at the end of the file, submitting a 
patch back to us, and documenting the new functions on the wiki, is safe 
and encouraged :)

See above.

If you want to change WordPress template functions, then you should submit 
the patches to WordPress, and if they are integrated in WP they will 
trickle back to Lyceum

If you want to add new functions which are only relevant to Lyceum, submit 
them to us.

Thanks Bryan, stay in touch.
