+=== How can I contribute to the GiBUU project? ===
+
+We are very open to code contributions from external users.
+If you have made any modifications to the code, which you want to
+contribute to GiBUU, please send them to the [mailto:GiBUU@theo.physik.uni-giessen.de GiBUU mailing list] in the
+form of a [wiki:HowtoPatches patch], so that they can be reviewed by the GiBUU developers.
+After a successful review process, they will be committed to our repository (with proper recognition of
+the author, of course).

+=== I want to publish results obtained with the GiBUU code. How should I proceed? ===
+
+We would greatly appreciate if you could send us your results prior to publication, so that we can evaluate if you're using the GiBUU code in a reasonable way. Doing a transport simulation is a non-trivial procedure and requires good understanding of the input parameters. Although we are trying to make the usage as straightforward as possible, there are still lots of things that can go wrong. Therefore it is important to check the results prior to publication.
+
+For the actual publication it is recommended that you cite (at least) the [http://inspirehep.net/record/912923 GiBUU review paper]. Depending on the type of reaction studied, other references might be useful in addition.
