        &TCAR; is a collaborative tool that anyone can have access to.

        However, changing that tool in any form is something that

        should be requested in &TCDML;.  Generally, people download

        working copies of &TCAR; to study its organization, make local

        changes, test the changes really work the way expected and

        finally, request access to commit them up to &TCAR; for others

        to benefit from them.

    </para>

    <para>

        Once you've received access to commit your changes, there is

        no need for you to request permission again to commit other

        changes from your working copy to &TCAR; as long as you behave

        as a <emphasis>good cooperating citizen</emphasis>.

        Otherwise, your rights to commit changes might be temporarly

        revoked or permanently banished.

    </para>

    <para>

        As a good cooperating citizen one understand of a person who

        respects the work already done by others and share ideas with

        authors before changing relevant parts of their work,

        specially in situations when the access required to realize

        the changes has been granted already.  Of course, there is a

        time when conversation has taken place, the paths has been

        traced and changing the work is so obvious that there is no

        need for you to talk about it; that's because you already did,

        you already built the trust to keep going. As complement, the

        mailing list mentioned above is available for sharing ideas in

        a way that good relationship between community citizens could

        be constantly balanced.

    </para>

    <para>

        The relationship between community citizens is monitored by

        repository administrators. Repository administrators are

        responsible of granting that everything goes the way it needs

        to go in order for &TCAR; to accomplish its mission which is:

        to provide a colaborative tool for &TC;; where &TCPCVI; could

        be built and maintained by &TC;; itself.

        The content produced inside &TCAR; is copyright of &TCAS; and

        this is something you, as author, need to be aware of because

        you are giving part of your creation's rights to someone else;

        &TCAS; for this matter.  In this case, your work is

        distributed using &TCAS; as copyright holder not your name.

        Because &TCAS; is the copyright holder, is the license chosen

        by &TCAS; the one applied to your work, so it is the one you

        need to agree with before making a creation inside &TCAR;.

        We belive that working together is far better than working

        alone; eventhough somtimes, working alone is the only possible

        way of reaching the state of glory which is to work

        syncronized all together in freedom.
