# 1. CONTRIBUTING

There's a mailing list for discussion of sitescooper. To join, send a mail to <sitescooper-request /at/ netnoteinc.com> with the one word subscribe in the message body to join. If you're already on the list, send a mail to <sitescooper-request /at/ netnoteinc.com> with the word unsubscribe in the message body to unsubscribe. Note: the mail addresses above are "spam-protected", so you need to change the " /at/ " parts to an @ sign to send a mail to them!

If you have a site you think others will like, mail the .site file to the list, and I'll stick it in the distribution -- and list your name in the CREDITS section. Same goes for bug patches!

# 2. BUGS

If you find one, send a bug report to the list (or myself) and I'll try to get around to fixing it. Could take a while though, as I don't get paid for this stuff. BTW I really like bugfix patches if you feel like submitting one after finding a bug ;)

# 3. COPYRIGHT AND CREDITS

Some of the post-processing and HTML cleanup code include ideas and code shamelessly stolen from `http://pilot.screwdriver.net/` , Christopher Heschong's <chris at screwdriver.net> webpage-to-pilot conversion tool.

Included in the distribution is a copy of Algorithm::Diff, an implementation of the Longest Common Subsequence algorithm, Copyright 1998, 1999 M-J. Dominus (mjd-perl-diff /at/ plover.com).

Also Robb Canfield (robbc /at/ canfield.com) has kindly provided Table.pm, "a general purpose HTML table converter that tries, usually successfully, to convert wide tables to long lists. In general it copies the table headers and rotates them down for each row." It's used when you set "TableRender: list".
