+Apache Thrift contrib folder
+========================================
+
+The code in the /contrib folder is not maintained on a regular basis and its
purpose is mainly to serve
+as repository of (a) sample code what can be done with Thrift and (b) possibly
helpfil utilities or other
+potentially useful stuff.
+
+You are of course free to provide patches for it, but other than that, the
contrib stuff may or may not
+work for your purpose, environment or software version, as it does not part of
regular testing procedures.
+
+Below are some links (3rd-party sites) that lead you to some fairly good
explanations of how it works.
