<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">This one is mostly for external contributors.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Before we can begin to take and use
any patches, we need to have a contributor agreement signed by the author.
We want to ensure that the DCMF community follows the best practices
for avoiding copyright/licensing issues, so this is important to all people
using the DCMF source code. We plan to get the final agreement information
out on the mail list and wiki later today--we are currently wrapping up
a few loose ends.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">After we get this going, we will have
to keep a list of signatories. It seems that there are a few ways
to record these, and I would like people to comment.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">+ Keep an internal list at IBM (or the
future maintainer). This ensures privacy.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">+ Keep a list on the Wiki. Since
changes are public and pages can be protected. This is more open,
and could also be included with the next:</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">+ Maintain a "developers"
file inside the git repository. This will be more accessible when
we get a git server, and it is even more secure than the wiki list.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Thanks,</font>
