Leonardo, I've added you to the project on Savannah.  You should wait
until you've completed the FSF paperwork to assign copyright on your
changes before you check anything in to CVS, though.

Others on this list (like Alper!) who want to contribute, you need to do
the paperwork too, and also let me know your Savannah username so I can
add you to the project.  Either order is fine.  :0)  If I haven't
emailed you about the FSF paperwork yet, send an email to me and remind
me.

Daniel has a lot of stuff buffered up that he's probably about ready to
check in, so he should really have priority on checking in.
Unfortunately the paperwork is even more of a bottleneck there because
Daniel has not only been writing code of his own, but has been helping
integrate stuff from other people, and we don't have paperwork from all
of them yet.  I think it's mostly on the way, but I have to ping a few
people again.

If it's getting in people's way, though, I'll consider relaxing this
policy for people who assure me that they are definitely in the process
of getting the paperwork done.  On the other hand, maybe it's good to
keep things as separate patches for now if they aren't yet to the point
where you can build both xboard and WinBoard from the patched source
tree...
