+
+=== Procedure to request GRASS-SVN write access ===
+
+The [http://grass.gdf-hannover.de/wiki/PSC GRASS Project Steering Commitee] is responsible for granting SVN write access to contributors (as defined in [http://download.osgeo.org/grass/grass6_progman/rfc/rfc1_psc.html RFC1]).
+ * The requestor 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).
+ * The request has to be send to the GRASS-PSC mailing list, stating that RFC2 was read and accepted. This requires [http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-psc subscription] to the mailing list.
+
+=== Setting up the new SVN write access ===
+
+Once SVN access is granted, the requestor needs to obtain an "osgeo_id" at http://www.osgeo.org/osgeo_userid
+If s/he already have an "osgeo_id" but forgot it, it can be searched at http://www.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/ldap_web_search.py
+The GRASS-PSC chair (currently Markus Neteler) and other developers can add this "osgeo_id" to the OSGeo LDAP authentication system.
+
+Contributions have to follow the [wiki:BestPractise] rules (see also SUBMITTING* files in the source code).
+
+=== Then what? ===
+
+Happy hacking :) The requestor should subscribe to the [http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-commit grass-commit] mailing list which distributes GRASS-SVN commit differences for real-time code review.
