Hyperic Contributor HOWTO

Contributions to Hyperic

This document provides an overview of the process by which someone may contribute to the Hyperic codebase.

What Qualifies as a Contribution

In the HyperFORGE, anyone may add their plugin or documentation to the mix without any sort of official approval from Hyperic. These user-contributed additions will only live on the HyperFORGE and will not be part of the official Hyperic HQ distribution. For these community contributions, you need not do anything outside of editing the wiki and denoting your authorship of said contribution, whether a new plugin, a code patch or documentation.

Contributor Agreement

If you would like your contribution to be added to our official distribution, we require that you fill out a contributor agreement. Please print that document, sign, and either fax or mail it to us. Our contact information:
