*How to Contribute Code*

Hi everyone,

Until now we have been unable to accept source contributions, since we
didn't have the legal boilerplate in place to ensure the licensng stays
straight.  Finally we have an initial mechanism that will let us start
integrating contribution (like Andras Pahi's fixes- thanks!) into the
source.

The way it will work is this.  In the source repository, there is a new
file at the top level (under trunk) called contributorLicenses.html. 
That file contains the simple legal boilerplate that each contributor
will have to agree to, which is necessary to avoid copyright and patent
problems.

Before we can integrate a someone code, the contributor will have to
checkout/copy constributorLicenses.html, and add a line at the end with
their name, email address (and company name, ONLY if the contribution is
being made on behalf of a company and you have permission to give a
license).

Once you have added your agreement to the end of the file, submit the
file to the Google group Strongtalk-commit
<http://groups.google.com/group/strongtalk-commit> , so it can be
committed to the repository.  (Does anyone have a better idea on how
people can submit things when they don't yet have commit access? How is
this done for other projects?)

Then we can accept your code.
