I've attached a very early draft copy.  It's incomplete, and only has
a basic introduction and a list of ways in which one can contribute to
Free Software.  It's in troff -ms format (use
  groff -ms -T utf8 affs-contribute.ms | less -R
to view, or -T ps to get a PostScript copy).

Before I go into all of these ways in detail, can anyone suggest any
other ways?  I'm sure I've only scratched the surface, and there are
no doubt many others I haven't considered.  I'd like to have this part
as comprehensive as possible before I flesh it out, since I'd like to
appeal to as wide a range of skillsets as possible.  Ideally, I'd like
to make the point that anyone, no matter their skills or abilities,
has something they can contribute.


Thanks folks,
Roger
