@subsection How do I contribute a package?

If you are willing to be a package maintainer, great! We urgently need
volunteers to prepare and maintain packages, because the priority of the
Cygwin Team is Cygwin itself.
The Cygwin Package Contributor's Guide is at
@file{http://cygwin.com/setup.html}, which details everything you need
to know about being a package maintainer. Use the cygwin-apps mailing
list (start at @file{http://cygwin.com/lists.html}) for
questions about package maintenance, @emph{after} searching and browsing the
cygwin-apps list archives, of course. Charles Wilson posted a short
recipe of what is involved, using texinfo as an example, available at
@file{http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2000-11/msg00055.html}. This
should give you an idea of what is required.
The Cygwin Package Contributor's Guide at
@file{http://cygwin.com/setup.html} details everything you need to know
about being a package maintainer. The quickest way to get started is to
read the @emph{Initial packaging procedure, script-based} section on
that page. The @samp{generic-build-script} found there works well for
most packages.
You should announce your intentions to the general cygwin list, in case
others were thinking the same thing.
For questions about package maintenance, use the cygwin-apps mailing
list (start at @file{http://cygwin.com/lists.html}) @emph{after}
searching and browsing the cygwin-apps list archives, of course. Be
sure to look at the @emph{Submitting a package} checklist at
@file{http://cygwin.com/setup.html} before sending an ITP (Intent To
Package) email to cygwin-apps.
You should also announce your intentions to the general cygwin list, in
