    1.24 +  <h2>You can contribute!</h2>
    1.25 +
    1.26 +  <p>I publish the <a href="http://hgbook.red-bean.com/">source
    1.27 +      code</a> for this book as a Mercurial repository.  Please feel

    1.29 +    changes.</p>
    1.30 +
    1.31 +  <p>The online version of the book includes a comment system
    1.32 +    that you can use to send feedback involving errors, omissions, and
    1.33 +    suggestions.</p>
    1.34 +
    1.35 +  <p>(If you would like to adapt the comment system for a
    1.36 +    publishing project of your own, the source for the web application
    1.37 +    is included with the book.)</p>

    1.39 +  <h2>What is Mercurial?</h2>
    1.40 +
    1.41 +  <p><a href="http://www.selenic.com/mercurial">Mercurial</a> is a
    1.42 +    fast, lightweight source control management system
    1.43 +    designed for easy and efficient handling of very large distributed
    1.44 +    projects.</p>
    1.45 +
    1.46 +  <h2>How I help Mercurial and free software, and you can too</h2>
    1.47 +
    1.48 +  <p>Mercurial is a member of the <a href="http://conservancy.softwarefreedom.org/">Software Freedom Conservancy</a>, a
    1.49 +    wonderful non-profit organisation that offers its member projects
    1.50 +    legal and administrative advice.</p>
    1.51 +
    1.52 +  <p>I am donating my royalties from the sales of this book (once it is
    1.53 +    published) to the Software Freedom Conservancy, and I encourage
    1.54 +    you to support their work, too.</p>
    1.55 +
    1.56 +  <p>The SFC can
    1.57 +    accept <a href="http://conservancy.softwarefreedom.org/?donate">accept
    1.58 +    donations</a> (tax-free under IRS 501(c)(3), within the United
    1.59 +    States) on behalf of its member projects. If you would like to
    1.60 +    support Mercurial directly, please consider making a donation to
    1.61 +    the SFC on its behalf.</p>
    1.62 +
    1.63 +  <p>If you would like to help free software developers to provide
    1.64 +    their important public services without being impeded by legal
    1.65 +    issues, please consider donating to the SFC's sister organisation,
    1.66 +    the <a href="http://www.softwarefreedom.org/">Software Freedom Law
    1.67 +    Center</a>.</p>
