19 Every contribution to Org is very welcome. Here is a list of areas where
20 your contribution will be useful:
22 - you can submit *bug reports* -- Before sending a bug report, make sure
23 you have read this section of Org's manual: [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Feedback][Feedback]]
25 - you can submit *feature requests* -- Org is already mature, but new ideas
26 keep popping up. If you want to request a feature, it might be a good
27 idea to have a look at the current [[http://orgmode.org/todo.html][TODO list]] of Org, or to digg into the
28 mailing list for possible previous discussions about your idea.
30 - you can submit *patches* -- You can submit patches to the mailing list.
32 If your patch is against a file that is part of Emacs, then it won't be
33 taken unless it is /less than 10 lines/ or you granted the rights on your
34 works to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.
36 If your patch is against a file that is not part of Emacs, then it might
37 be taken without worrying about its length, if the patch is good.
39 - you can submit Org *add-ons* -- there are many Org add-ons. The best way
40 is to submit your code to the mailing list to discuss it with people. If
41 it is useful, you might consider contributing it to the =CONTRIB/=
42 directory in the git repository.
44 - you can submit material to the *Worg* website -- This website is made of
45 Org files that you can contribute to. Learn what Worg is [[file:worg-about.org][about]] and how
46 to contribute to it [[file:worg-git.org][through git]].
48 * Contributing to Emacs org-mode
50 Org is made of several files. Those who are part of GNU Emacs are
51 copyrighted by the [[http://www.fsf.org][Free Software Foundation, Inc]]. If you consider
52 contributing to these files, your first need to grant the right to include
53 your works in GNU Emacs to the FSF. For this you need to complete [[http://www.cognition.ens.fr/~guerry/u/request-assign-future.txt][this
54 form]] and send it to [[mailto:assign@gnu.org][assign@gnu.org]].
56 If you want to understand /why/, please read this: [[http://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-assign.html][Why the FSF gets
57 copyright assignments from contributors?]]
59 * Current contributors
61 Here is the list of people who signed the papers with the Free Software
62 Foundation and can now freely submit code to Org files that are included
