This was inspired by Valerie Aurora and by the contributions and credits policy guide created by members of the RIPE Open Source Working Group. --- diff --git a/CONTRIBUTING b/CONTRIBUTING new file mode 100644 index 0000000..bf4ab72 --- /dev/null +++ b/CONTRIBUTING @@ -0,0 +1,43 @@ +Contributing to Bedstead +======================== + +While Bedstead is ultimately a personal project, I do sometimes accept +contributions from others. If have something to contribute, please +send it by email to . Reports of problems with +Bedstead should go to the same address. Adding the glyphs you need is +particularly encouraged. + +I pay attention to Bedstead only sporadically, so you might not get a +reply immediately. However, if I make a new release without replying +to you that's probably a sign that I've overlooked your contribution +and you should remind me about it. + +Credit +------ + +The authors of code and glyphs in Bedstead are listed in a comment at +the top of bedstead.c. If you're sending a patch, you might like to +include an update to this comment so that you get credited properly. +If any of your contribution is based on others' work, please indicate +that as well. If I construct a Git commit from your contribution, +I'll put your name and email address in the "Author" field. + +All contributions of code and glyphs should be released under the CC0 +Public Domain Dedication. If you're sending a patch, adding your name +to the comment beginning "To the maximum extent possible under the +law" will indicate that you intend to release your contribution under +that dedication. + +If you make a suggestion that isn't a direct code contribution, or +report a bug, I will usually credit you by name in any corresponding +Git commit message. + +If you do not wish to be credited, please mention that when sending +any contribution. + +If you are credited in bedstead.c and wish to change how you're +credited, please let me know. I will generally be happy to update the +credit to whatever name you prefer. Similarly, updates to the Git +".mailmap" file are welcome. Git is very resistant to rewriting +history, though, so I will generally not change the credits in +published commits or releases.
