+
+== 2 How to Contribute ==
+Contributions to the system generally fall into one or more of the following 5 categories:
+
+=== 2.1 Bug Reports and General Commentary ===
+
+An idea or suggestion of general technical interest should be mailed to the [http://lijst.wirelessleiden.nl/mailman/listinfo/techniek Wireless Leiden technical discussions mailing list]. Likewise, people with an interest in such things (and a tolerance for a high volume of mail!) may subscribe to the [http://lijst.wirelessleiden.nl/mailman/listinfo/techniek Wireless Leiden technical discussions mailing list].
+
+=== 2.2 Changes to the Documentation ===
+
+Changes to the documentation are overseen by the Wireless Leiden volunteers. Feel free to change the wiki/trac/website anywhere where you may think it need improvements. 
+
+=== 2.4 New Code or Major Value-Added Packages ===
+
+When working with large amounts of code, the touchy subject of copyrights also invariably comes up. Acceptable copyrights for code included in Wireless Leiden Nodefactory are:
+
+1. [http://svn.wirelessleiden.nl/svn/LICENSE.txt The Wireless Leiden copyright]. This basically a BSD style license (see below), with one extra amendment stating:
+
+{{{
+  The end-user documentation included with the redistribution,
+   if any, must include the following acknowledgment:
+      "This product includes software developed by the
+       Stichting Wireless Leiden (http://www.wirelessleiden.nl)."
+   Alternately, this acknowledgment may appear in the software itself,
+   if and wherever such third-party acknowledgments normally appear.
+
+}}}
+
+
+2. The BSD copyright. This copyright is most preferred due to its “no strings attached” nature and general attractiveness to commercial enterprises. Far from discouraging such commercial use, the FreeBSD Project actively encourages such participation by commercial interests who might eventually be inclined to invest something of their own into FreeBSD.
+
+
+=== 2.5 Money, Hardware or Internet Access ===
+
+We are always very happy to accept donations to further the cause of the Wireless Leiden Project and, in a volunteer effort like ours, a little can go a long way! Donations of hardware are also very important to expanding our list of supported peripherals since we generally lack the funds to buy such items ourselves.
