Hi Krithika,
Perhaps, you are in some way associated with Code For Freedom contest. So may be you can help me in some way. am working on NetBeans project as part of this contest. It would be very nice if I can get answers to a couple of my queries:
1. I have sent the Contributor;s agreement. Can i have a confirmation if it has received it or not?
2. In the page where we have to submit our contributions, there is a field for ref#, now I have submitted some Community docs to the Wiki as well as I am serving as a NetBeans Community Docs coordinator, how
do i submit this information? i do not have ref# for community docs contributions.
Please let me know, preferably by mail (amitksaha@netbeans.org)
Thanks,
Amit
