Thanks for your interest in contributing to the Mono Weekly News. In order to make the MWN team life easier and don't disturbing that much in the one of those that, like you, want to help us, we have developed two little programs: contributor and guicontributor.

You should download the source of them from directory and compile them with the provided Makefile.am with the command:
make -f Makefile.am

For the GUI version you will need the ui.glade file too.

Notice, you don't need the other tools (monocvsspy nor ripper), since they are for editing purpouses only.

Then run the program you like the best in order to contribute:

$./contributor.exe

$./guicontributor.exe

You might even want to send me alternative tools developed by yourself.

For Emacs users I am working on a set of functions: mwn-contribute and mwn-contribute-send so you can edit and send news items within Emacs, but I am still a lamme Elisp wannabe so you'll have to wait. Any help? ;-)

Cheers,
