1.) Post very very very small code and doc changes to make it
extremely easy for a committer to check in to the repository.  Builds
up a trust relationship with the committers.

2.) If you post code, try to follow the coding practices used in the
rest of the project.

3.) Use the sf.net monitoring forum feature to keep your head in the game.
