This is here:

Basically, this shares copyright for you contributions between you and
The Shuttleworth Foundation.  Technically, this probably isn't
necessary, because we're paying you, which means that by default we
would own the copyright anyhow, but since you are minors, you might do
some extra work for the project at some point which we aren't paying
you for, etc., we should be on the safe side and get this in writing.

I created this branch for you:

http://svn.schooltool.org/schooltool/branches/jelkner-gradebook/

Right now, it is the same as trunk.  As trunk changes, you'll need to
periodically merge FROM trunk TO your branch.  You'll then test these
changes with your code to make sure nothing has been broken by changes
in trunk.  Doing this weekly would be a very good idea.

At some undetermined point in the future we'll merge all your working
code back into the trunk, which will be easy IF you have been merging
the changes in trunk periodically.

Some documentation on doing the merges is here:
