First, read this page (including the small print at the end). + +### Before you contribute +Before we can use your code, you must sign the +[Google Individual Contributor License Agreement](https://cla.developers.google.com/about/google-individual) +(CLA), which you can do online. The CLA is necessary mainly because you own the +copyright to your changes even after your contribution becomes part of our +codebase, so we need your permission to use and distribute your code.

You don't have to sign +the CLA until after you've submitted your code for review and a member has +approved it, but you must do it before we can put your code into our codebase. +Before you start working on a larger contribution, you should get in touch with +us first through the issue tracker with your idea so that we can help out and +possibly guide you. Coordinating up-front makes it much easier to avoid +frustration later on. + +### Code reviews +All submissions, including submissions by project members, require review.
