Synopsis
--------

The `Autoconf Archive`_ is a collection of more than 500 freely re-usable
Autoconf_ macros. These macros have been contributed by friendly supporters
of the cause from all over the Internet.

How To Contribute
-----------------

If you have written a macro and would like to share it, then please `e-mail
the m4 file to me <mailto:simons@cryp.to>`_. In addition to the actual
source code, your submission should also include the following bits of
information:

* A synopsis that shows how the macro must be be called.

* A brief description of the macro's purpose.

* The list of authors (optionally with e-mail addresses).

* Licensing information.

You can submit your macro under any `GPL-compatible free software
license`_, but the best choice is the `all-permissive license`_ recommended
by the Free Software Foundation.

Another great way to contribute to the Archive is to submit patches. Git_
patches are particularly welcome.
