+=How to contribute=
+
+The basic things "everyone" can do is 
+- complete [missing words missing.txt] in concrete syntaxes
+- add new abstract words in ``Words`` and greetings in ``Greetings``
+
+
+The missing concrete syntax entries are added to the ``Words``//L//``.gf`` 
+files for each language //L//. The
+[morphological paradigms http://www.grammaticalframework.org/lib/doc/synopsis.html#toc78]
+of the GF resource library should be used. Actions (prefixed with ``A``, as ``AWant``) are
+a little more demanding, since they also require syntax constructors. Greetings (prefixed
+with ``G``) are pure strings.
+
+Here are the steps to follow for contributors:
++ Make sure you have the latest sources 
+  from [GF Darcs http://www.grammaticalframework.org/doc/gf-developers.html], using ``darcs pull``.
++ Also make sure that you have compiled the library by ``make present`` in ``gf/lib/src/``.
++ Work in the directory [``gf/examples/phrasebook/`` http://code.haskell.org/gf/examples/phrasebook/].
++ After you've finished your contribution, recompile the phrasebook by ``make``.
++ Save your changes in ``darcs record .`` (in the ``phrasebook`` subdirectory).
++ Make a patch file with ``darcs send -o my_phrasebook_patch``, which you can send to GF maintainers.
++ (Recommended:) Test the phrasebook on your local server:
+  + Go to ``gf/src/server/`` and follow the instructions in the
+    [project Wiki http://code.google.com/p/grammatical-framework/wiki/LaunchWebDemos].
+  + Make sure that ``Phrasebook.pgf`` is available to you GF server (see project wiki).
+  + Launch ``lighttpd`` (see project wiki).
+  + How you can open ``gf/examples/phrasebook/www/phrasebook.html`` and use your phrasebook!
+
+
++ Don't delete anything! But you are free to correct incorrect forms.
++ Don't change the module structure! But you are free to add a new language.
++ Don't compromise quality to gain coverage: //non multa sed multum!//
