| 29 | | * Write access to the '''GRASS-Addons-SVN repository:''' |
| 30 | | * We invite and encourage users who write GRASS add-on code to host it in our grass-addons SVN. We do so because: |
| 31 | | * Community building: It gets people involved and educated - contributing to the main GRASS code uses the exact same website, software, and commands. Thus the trip from contributer to full developer requires a minimum of training. |
| 32 | | * Archival: After some years it is common that people move on, then private websites fade away and the code is lost. The code will be widely backed up and if the main source code ever moves, all the addons will move with it in parallel. |
| 33 | | * Guaranteed license: From the start all code there is licensed under the GPL (or compatible), so all can use the content there without worry, and mature modules may be promoted into the main GRASS code as needed. |
| 34 | | * Caretaking: In years to come others may easily contribute bug fixes and upgrades if a flaw is found or the GRASS API changes. |
| 35 | | * Infrastructure: Ability to take advantage of the svn history and trac system integration, including bug tracker. (these are really quite good things) |
| 36 | | * [http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/trunk/AUTHORS GRASS developers] with write access can grant SVN write access to contributors (you may contact an active developer, see grass-dev mailing list archive).

| 37 | | * The requester has to '''read and abide by''' the document [http://download.osgeo.org/grass/grass6_progman/rfc/rfc2_psc.html Legal aspects of code contributions] (RFC2). |
| 38 | | * The request has to be send to a GRASS developer or the GRASS-PSC chair, stating that RFC2 was read and accepted (locate a mentor). The request then has to be sent to the GRASS-PSC [http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-psc mailing list], stating that RFC2 was read and accepted.

For fast service you should provide your OSGeo ID in this email. (see below) |
| 39 | | * After a period of evaluation, SVN write access may be granted and is set up in the OSGeo authentication system (see below). |
| 40 | | * New commands stored in the GRASS-Addons-SVN repository should be also added as link to the [http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_AddOns Wiki list of tools] and placed in the appropriate directory hierarchy. |
