Apply for contributions CVS access

Thanks for applying for a CVS account!

To contribute new modules, themes, or translations to Drupal, or take over an abandoned project, this is the place for you!

You need to know and understand the following before applying:

  • New CVS account applications go through an approval process. Our volunteers should be able to look at your application within a week. The approval of your application can be delayed or prevented, if the guidelines below are not followed or refinements are required.
  • You must submit a finished, working module or theme for review along with your application. Our review will check for adherence to security best practices, usage of Drupal APIs, and coding standards compliance.
  • You must provide a motivation message, which should be a few paragraphs instead of only a few sentences. It should include details about your contribution, its features, how it compares to already existing solutions, links to screenshots or a demo, etc.
  • Your work must be licensed under the same license as Drupal, which is GPL version 2 or later. (Why?) We do not allow committing third-party libraries to CVS, even if they are GPL. (More info)
  • Your new project must not duplicate work of existing projects. You should collaborate with existing maintainers instead.
  • You do not need a CVS account to create patches for existing modules or to checkout code from CVS. You should only apply to contribute your first, new project.

Ok, got all that? Great. Head over to the CVS application form.
