        The CentOS Artwork Repository 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;.

        This way, we (&TCAS;) can say that all content produced inside

        &TCAR; must comply the terms of 

        /> or <xref linkend="licenses-gfdl" /> in order for them to

        remain inside the repository. With this disposition set, the

        bases of our community are founded to provide you, as author,

        the greatest benefit possible for creating and sharing your

        work in freedoom.

        Finally, we believe that working together is far better than

        working alone; eventhough somtimes, working alone is the only

        possible way of reaching that state of glory which is to work

        syncronized all together in freedom.
