1 | Want to contribute? Great! First, read this page (including the small print at the end). |

3 | ### Before you contribute | |
4 | Before we can use your code, you must sign the | |
5 | [Google Individual Contributor License Agreement](https://developers.google.com/open-source/cla/individual?csw=1) | |
6 | (CLA), which you can do online. The CLA is necessary mainly because you own the | |
7 | copyright to your changes, even after your contribution becomes part of our | |
8 | codebase, so we need your permission to use and distribute your code. We also | |
9 | need to be sure of various other things—for instance that you'll tell us if you | |
10 | know that your code infringes on other people's patents. You don't have to sign | |
11 | the CLA until after you've submitted your code for review and a member has | |
12 | approved it, but you must do it before we can put your code into our codebase. | |
13 | Before you start working on a larger contribution, you should get in touch with | |
14 | us first through the issue tracker with your idea so that we can help out and | |
15 | possibly guide you. Coordinating up front makes it much easier to avoid | |
16 | frustration later on. | |

18 | ### Code reviews | |
19 | All submissions, including submissions by project members, require review. We | |
20 | use Github pull requests for this purpose. | |

22 | ### The small print | |
23 | Contributions made by corporations are covered by a different agreement than | |
24 | the one above, the Software Grant and Corporate Contributor License Agreement. |
