| Want to contribute? Great! First, read this page (including the small print at the end). | |
| ### Before you contribute | |
| Before we can use your code, you must sign the | |
| [Google Individual Contributor License Agreement] | |
| (https://cla.developers.google.com/about/google-individual) | |
| (CLA), which you can do online. The CLA is necessary mainly because you own the | |
| copyright to your changes, even after your contribution becomes part of our | |
| codebase, so we need your permission to use and distribute your code. We also | |
| need to be sure of various other thingsĀfor instance that you'll tell us if you | |
| know that your code infringes on other people's patents. You don't have to sign | |
| the CLA until after you've submitted your code for review and a member has | |
| approved it, but you must do it before we can put your code into our codebase. | |
| Before you start working on a larger contribution, you should get in touch with | |
| us first through the issue tracker with your idea so that we can help out and | |
| possibly guide you. Coordinating up front makes it much easier to avoid | |
| frustration later on. | |
| ### Code reviews | |
| All submissions, including submissions by project members, require review. | |
| Information on how to sumbit changes for review is provided in README.md. | |
| ### The small print | |
| Contributions made by corporations are covered by a different agreement than | |
| the one above, the | |
| [Software Grant and Corporate Contributor License Agreement] | |
| (https://cla.developers.google.com/about/google-corporate). |
