Soroban package I've written for Emacs

Soroban package I've written for Emacs

[Ryan]

Hello,

I've written a soroban emulator for GNU Emacs.
This package emulates a traditional Japanese soroban calculator.

I've tested it for bugs and it appears to be working well.
I would like to contribute this package to the GNU ELPA repository.

I understand that this means it will be released under the GPL and 
welcome further hacking and modification of this program by others.

The package soroban.el may be collected from the link below.
https://github.com/RyanBurnside/Soroban

Sincerely,
Ryan Burnside

Inclusion in GNU ELPA has 2 aspects:
- legal: we follow the same copyright policy as for Emacs, so as to make
  it easy to move code between two.  So we'd need all non-trivial
  contributors to sign some paperwork.
  IIUC in this case we just need your paperwork.
- technical (it seems you know that already, but just in case):
  the GNU ELPA archive is built from the `elpa.git' repository which
  hosts all the source code of all the packages, and where we may
  occasionally install patches.  We generally encourage maintainers to
  use this repository as the main development repository, so as to avoid
  the need to keep 2 repositories in sync.  If the maintainer elects to
  keep the main development elsewhere, he's expected to keep the
  elpa.git version uptodate.

So if you agree, then please fill the form below and email it to the FSF as
instructed so they can send you the appropriate paperwork to sign.

Thank for your contributions to Emacs,


        Stefan

IMHO it would be helpful have that information in CONTRIBUTE. Especially the
below FSF assignment form.

Thanks,
