<h1>mon /contrib -- guidelines</h1>
<hr>
<p>We encourage mon users to submit their own monitors, graphical
front-ends, patches, and other utilities back into the mon
community. These utilities are collected here.
</p>
<p>This page describes the procedure for getting your contributions in
the /contrib tree. We want to encourage submissions, but at the same
time, we would like to keep the quality reasonable and have everything
reasonably well-documented.
</p>
<p>If you are submitting new material to the /contrib tree, you must
include the following with each submission:
<ol>
<li>A brief (one paragraph) description of what your
submission does.
</li>
<li>A file containing your submission. If there is only one
file (e.g. a self-documented monitor script), then send
that. If there are multiple files in your distribution,
these must be sent in a compressed tar (.tar.gz) archive.
</li>
<li>A README file, describing in more detail what your
submission does, how to install it, who might find it
useful,
etc. See sample README files in the /contrib tree for examples
of what is needed. In general, the better your README file, the
more chance
other people will use your software.
</li>
</ol>
</p>
<p>If you are submitting a patch to another contrib'ed item, please
note the following:
<ol>
<li>Your patch should fix a bug, or add a new piece of functionality,
preferably by being backwards compatible. If you need or want to
significantly change the way a monitor works, you might
consider making a new monitor.
</li>
<li>Send patches as attached context diffs, noting what is fixed and
how.
</li>
<li>There is absolutely no rule that
limits the number of monitors for a particular service, for
example, just because there are already 5 different HTTP
monitors doesn't mean another one isn't necessary or useful.
</li>
</ol>
</p>
<p>Send your submissions via email to <a
href="mailto:trockij@linux.kernel.org">trockij@linux.kernel.org</a>.
</p>
<p>Submissions not meeting these guidelines may not be accepted.
</p>
