 ## Commit Guidlines
 You are welcome to contribute, add and extend Diaspora however you see fit.  We will do our best to incorporate everything that meets our guidelines.
 
+We need you to fill out a [contributor agreement form](https://spreadsheets.google.com/a/joindiaspora.com/viewform?formkey=dGI2cHA3ZnNHLTJvbm10LUhXRTJjR0E6MQ&theme=0AX42CRMsmRFbUy1iOGYwN2U2Mi1hNWU0LTRlNjEtYWMyOC1lZmU4ODg1ODc1ODI&ifq) before we can accept your patches.  The agreement gives Diaspora joint ownership of the patch so the copyright isn't scattered.  You can find it [here](https://spreadsheets.google.com/a/joindiaspora.com/viewform?formkey=dGI2cHA3ZnNHLTJvbm10LUhXRTJjR0E6MQ&theme=0AX42CRMsmRFbUy1iOGYwN2U2Mi1hNWU0LTRlNjEtYWMyOC1lZmU4ODg1ODc1ODI&ifq).

 All commits must be tested, and after each commit, all tests should be green before a pull request is sent.  Please write your tests in Rspec or Test-Unit.
 
 GEMS:  We would like to keep external dependencies unduplicated.  We're using Nokogiri, and Mongomapper, and EM::HttpRequest as much as possible.  We have a few gems in the project we'd rather not use, but if you can, use dependencies we already have.
