<!-- Converted from text/plain format -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I also recommend posting your FindXXX files to the CMake Wiki:<BR>

In the best case scenerio, it will take several months for a CMake contribution to be available in a general release, whereas a Wiki contribution is available right now. The Wiki is also a good place to put find modules that may not be appropriate for contribution back to the CMake distribution, perhaps because the CMake code is still a moving target or because the module is not applicable to a large enough audiance.<BR>

Yes, we accept contributions. When writing them please read this file:<BR>

Then create a feature request in the bug tracker for each module and<BR>
