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://developers.google.com/open-source/cla/individual?csw=1)
(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. Therefore, we need your permission to use and distribute your code.
We also need to be sure of various other things—for 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 avoids frustrations later.
### Code reviews
All submissions, including submissions by project members, require review. You
may use a Github pull request to start such a review, but the review itself
will be conducted using this tool.
### 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.
