Contributors
Anyone can be a contributor to DISCOS project. Being a contributor simply means that you take an interest in the project and contribute in some way, ranging from asking sensible questions (which documents the project and provides feedback to developers) through to providing new features as components, patches or user’s specifications.
If you become a valuable contributor to the project, you may well be invited by the core developer to become member of the team.
