Blame CONTRIB

61a679
Permissively licensed components of the midipix project currently
61a679
accept contributions in the form of gpg-signed patches. The requirement
61a679
that all contributions be gpg-signed helps to ensure a repository's
61a679
reliability and license integrity, and is thus considered worth of
61a679
the (small) trouble that it might entail.

Please note that patch submission is only one of the many ways to
61a679
advance the development of a software component, and that assistance
61a679
in the following areas is always needed, and greatly appreciated:
61a679
61a679
* brainstorming.
61a679
* expressing needs, requesting features.
61a679
* sharing knowledge about your favorite system.
61a679
* lurking on irc, reviewing commits and patches.

* testing release candidates on different systems.
61a679
* building from source, testing bleeding-edge versions.
