Contribute back

The Zeitgeist Movement project is all about the contributions each of us make in creating a resource based society. We are currently using Github, as this allows us to scale infinitely, decentralized storage and provides us with a communication tool through which we can participate within any of the projects that we choose to.

It is important that if you wish to contribute is to create a Github account at http://github.com, if you already have an account then simply create a 'fork' of the project and tell the 'project leader' when you want them to merge your work into the main 'master' branch.

This way, 'project leaders' and peers are able to review/test your contribution, before being accepted into the 'live' system.
