Contributing

1. Get a copy of the repository as explained above.
2. Repeat as many times as you want to:
   1. Make your changes and put new files in the proper directories inside your copy of the repository. Use the command darcs add filename to put newly added files under version control.
   2. Update this index.html to link to any added files, in alphabetical order.
   3. Record your changes to your local copy of the repository with the command darcs record -a.

      The first time you do this, darcs will prompt for your email address. The preferred format is Your real name <user@host>. The address should not be visible on a linked-to page unencrypted. The name of the patch is a short one-line summary of your changes.

3. Send your patches to me by email with the command darcs send. I will apply them to the online repository if they look okay.
