Hey Pete, all contributions are very welcome especially documentation. If you don't already have access to the graphite wiki ( http://graphite.wikidot.com/) just click the 'Join this wiki' link on the left navigation panel of the wiki page (you will have to register a wikidot account first) and let me know so I can approve the join request (for some reason wikidot doesn't email me about new requests).
As far as code contributions, feel free to put the graphite_agent code in the 'contrib' dir in trunk. You will need to join the 'graphite-dev' team in Launchpad first though before you can commit changes to bzr. Also please specify what license the code is being published under by including the appropriate header / LICENSE file.
