Hi
All,
I
can't
help
but
feel
that
this
maybe
a
good
moment
to
consider
a
"Frequently
asked
questions"
section
on
the
web
site.
The
question
of
whether
you
need
a
contribution
agreement
may
have
a
habit
of
repeating
itself;)

This

Important:
actually,

So
does
this
mean
that
there
is
no
document

sign
to
be
Contributor?
