If you would like to contribute, please open a ticket in JIRA:

* http://tickets.opscode.com

Create the ticket in the COOK project and use the cookbook name as the

component.

For all code contributions, we ask that contributors sign a

contributor license agreement (CLA). Instructions may be found here:

* http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/How+to+Contribute

When contributing changes to individual cookbooks, please do not

modify the version number in the metadata.rb. Also please do not

update the CHANGELOG.md for a new version. Not all changes to a

cookbook may be merged and released in the same versions. Opscode will

handle the version updates during the release process. You are welcome

to correct typos or otherwise make updates to documentation in the

README.

If a contribution adds new platforms or platform versions, indicate

such in the body of the commit message(s), and update the relevant

COOK ticket. When writing commit messages, it is helpful for others if

you indicate the COOK ticket. For example:

git commit -m '[COOK-1041] Updated pool resource to correctly delete.'

In the ticket itself, it is also helpful if you include log output of

a successful Chef run, but this is not absolutely required.
