This is something that we have to run by the software freedom conservancy. Most project have some sort of agreement. Sometime they are as simple as 'I am who I say I am and have the right to contribute what I will contribute. One of my goals is for a vibrant ecosystem of businesses, NFPs and NGOs to form around Sugar. If a contributor agree makes them more comfortable, it will be worth the head aches. Designing a community seems to be a lot like designing a piece of software. If one plans ahead, it is pretty easy to add, remove, and modify features. Adding features, especially security features, can be tough. If the SFC thinks it is not necessary, we can drop it. thanks dfarning _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
