| 9 | <shortdesc>Any individual or any organization can contribute to the
|
|---|
| 10 | project; contributions must adhere to the existing toolkit license(s)
|
|---|
| 11 | and should fit in with the general goals of the project. All major
|
|---|
| 12 | contributors will get appropriate recognition in release announcements
|
|---|
| 13 | and on the project home page.</shortdesc>
|

| 14 | <body>
|
|---|
| 15 | <p>Contributors can submit new features, patches, and bug fixes using
|
|---|
| 16 | existing github facilities (this is done by creating a "pull request"
|
|---|
| 17 | within github). The Committer(s) who owns the relevant components
|
|---|
| 18 | will first do due diligence to check code originality and licensing
|
|---|
| 19 | according to the <xref href="ContributionPolicy.xml"></xref>. After
|
|---|
| 20 | due diligence, the Committer(s) will use his/her own judgment on whether
|
|---|
| 21 | to accept the code into the original code base, request updates to
|
|---|
| 22 | the code, or suggest that the code be maintained as an external patch
|
|---|
| 23 | or plug-in.</p>
|
|---|
| 24 | <p>Contributions are always encouraged, and generally fall into one
|
|---|
| 25 | of two groups, as determined by project Committers:<ul>
|
|---|
| 26 | <li>Bug fixes and minor patches are accepted with little overhead.</li>
|
|---|
| 27 | <li>Major contributions require the contributor to sign a form stating
|
|---|
| 28 | that the submitter is free to commit the code (individually or on
|
|---|
| 29 | behalf of an employer), and that the code complies with the current
|
|---|
| 30 | toolkit license terms.</li>
