How to contribute
If you have a contribution that you would like to see incorporated into the Directory distribution, then please take note of the licensing requirements listed below, and then read the sectionProcedure for Raising Development Issues.
The Cocoon committers have been granted access by a vote of confidence, so they are assumed to be trustworthy enough to make changes directly in the source repository. Other contributors need to submit a patch via the Cocoon issue tracker, JIRA.
Committers must be confident that it would work properly in all operating systems, it must be documented as appropriate, it must be considered sufficiently useful and general to go into Cocoon, and it must meet the Licensing requirements below. Other committers and developers will continue to enhance it, so don't be surprised if changes are made. Also the PMC may decide to remove it, if issues are discovered.
