2.1. Contributor ReadME

Before beginning the process of submitting your work, or links to your project, please read below:

General Information, As a contributor:

  • You maintain the copyright on your work.
  • You grant JBoss, Inc the right to distribute, display, and publicize your work in whole or in part, or in any form, without compensation. (It wouldn't be much of an exchange, otherwise)
  • You license your work however you want to. We are license agnostic.
  • You may upload commercial, free, shareware, etc... portlets and layouts.
  • Please make sure to adhere to every item in the checklist below or items you are contributing will not be categorized correctly, or even made available to the public!

Contributor Checklist, Contributing portlets and layouts:

  • Only submit portlets and layouts that work with JBoss Portal.
  • You must be the original author of the application or have written consent to distribute it.
  • You must place a license file in the uploaded archive. (e.g. LICENSE.txt)
  • Please include any additional setup instructions, documentation, screenshots, etc... in the distributable archive.

If the above instructions are not adhered to, your submission will most likely be ignored, discarded, or ridiculed. ;-)

2.2. Submittal Process

Getting your portlet project listed in the portlet catalog, is as easy as following the simple steps below. If you have questions over the portlet submittal process, please read the Chapter 4, FAQ at the end of this document.
