Follow the instructions outlined at <a href="http://docs.zope.org/developer/becoming-a-contributor.html">http://docs.zope.org/developer/becoming-a-contributor.html</a>

<!-- To get commit access:

0. Get an account at http://www.zope.org. Pick a user id that is a valid Unix user id. Include
this id when you fill out the contributor form.

1. Print, fill out and sign the <a href="../Contributor.pdf">Zope Contributor Agreement</a>.

2. Submit the agreement in one of 3 ways (in order from fastest to slowest):

- Email a scanned copy to [email protected]. In the email, CC and also mention an existing contributor
who can vouch for you.

Turnaround for this is typically less than a business day, unless I miss your email.

- Fax the agreement to: +1.703.995.0412

Include the name and email address of an existing contributor who can vouch for you.
Please write this in the margins of the agreement. If I ever revise the agreement, I'll
include a space for this....

Turnaround for this is typically a business day or two, mainly because I don't get faxes directly.
Someone has to forward faxes to me by email.

- Mail the agreement to the address given on the agreement.

Turnaround for this is typically a few day, if mailed from the US to an almost indeterminate
amount of time if mailed from outside of the US.
Agreements mailed from outside the US have taken weeks on occasion.

3. Wait for an acknowledgement. If you don't get this
in a reasonable amount of time, then nag [email protected], or J1m on the freenode #zope3 IRC channel.
A reasonable time depends on the way the agreement was sent, as described above.

4. Upload your SSH public key at: https://cvs.zope.org/upload-key.html

When you go to that page, you'll get a basic auth login prompt. Use your www.zope.org login and
password.

If you have trouble, **do not ask Jim Fulton for help.** Ask for help
on the IRC channels. People there may ask me to look at ssh logs on the server or at the uploaded
keys, as I am able to access those.

One thing to keep in mind is that the user id you use to access the subversion and CVS repositories
is your zope.org user id. This means that you might have to specify a id explicitly. I know
of two ways to do this:

- Include it in the subversion url: svn+ssh://[email protected]/repos/main/some_path

- Specify the user if to use for svn.zope.org (or cvs.zope.org) in your SSH configuration.
See the SSH documentation for details.
