Hey Chet
The steps detailed at http://thrift.apache.org/docs/HowToContribute/ are for submitting patches for new additions, bugfixes and any code for the website and code base, like the tutorial you uploaded to THRIFT-1906. I'll outline the necessary steps below and hopefully explain them a little better detail and if you have any questions please let me know.

Thank you for contributing, the help is greatly appreciated
-Jake


1. Look in jira (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT) to make sure there is not a ticket all ready open for the issue you are experiencing, or if it is a new feature that there is a ticket open with work in progress. If there is not then create a new ticket (THRIFT-1906 in your case for a ocaml tutorial, perfect)

2. Checkout our code base to start working on it for the ticket created in step 1.
   
        git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/thrift.git thrift

3. Modify the source code for the new feature or bug fix you are working on as described in the ticket in step 1.

4. Create a patch for the additions or changes you have made and attach the patch to the ticket in step 1. This step is necessary because by uploading the patch to issues.apache.org you are granting use to the ASF for the code you have written. 

        git diff > ../thrift-XXX-my-new-feature.patch

5. A committer will review your patch attached to the ticket and commit it on your behalf to the master repository and close the ticket for you.

Jake,

I am unclear on what you mean (and "HowToContribute" didn't really
explain it) so I

(a) created a JIRA issue

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1906?page=com.atlassian.jirafisheyeplugin:fisheye-
issuepanel

(b) uploaded a tarball with the new files.

If this isn't correct, and you could point me at whatever the right
wiki page is with instructions on how to do it, I'll be glad to do it
properly.

Cheers,

A tutorial would be great, thanks. you can submit a patch for the main repository as tutorial/ocaml or submit a patch to the websites tutorials section http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/thrift/site/

[Oops, replied to the wrong email from you]

Jake, I also have ocaml versions of the tutorial programs that I could
create a JIRA item for and upload, if that'd be of any use. --chet--
