Oops. It appears I didn't scan the thread quite as carefully as I should have before I posted my previous message. The above is *way* better that the draft that started this thread. Especially now that it's written not to look like a contract, please avoid titling this as an "agreement" and instead, please, involve it as "Stuff you should know" section in a larger body of content about how to get started contributing. -- Henri Sivonen [email protected] https://hsivonen.fi/ _______________________________________________ governance mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance
