Re: org-tree-slide annoyance

[Takaaki ISHIKAWA <takaxp@ieee.org>]

Hi Carsten and Nick,

I'd like to contribute my code[*1][*2] to org-mode, but I don't know
the procedure or rules to put it into the contrib dir.

Could you give me some information?

[*1] https://github.com/takaxp/org-tree-slide
[*2] http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/non-beamer-presentations.html

Best regards,
Takaaki
