The above is true, but only for certain types of project contributions.  It
does not apply to new OSI interfaces.  For us to be able to post the Mosek
interface on COIN-OR,  we  just need a email from you with information that
establishes the legal pedigree of the code (e.g., a statement that says you
are the legal author of the code and that you are opening in under the
CPL).   Below is the "mini-COO".  If you read it over,  fill-in-the-blanks,
and email it back to me...that's all we need. If you have any questions
about, I'd be happy to handle them off-list.

As with the other interfaces, each contributer has  become the maintainer
and has joined the core-team (i.e., been given write priviledges to the cvs
responsitory so that they can maintain their code, and been subscribed to
the coin-team mailing list).  There are some legal guidelines COIN-OR's
current host makes us follow when accepting contributions from outside the
core-team.  I"ll follow-up with off-list about these once I get the
mini-COO from you.

Bo-

It's great to hear that we'll be able to add MOSEK to our stable of
supported solvers.

We are hoping that the basic framework for the new OSI will be ready for
testing and interface building sometime around year-end.  In the meantime,
we'd be happy to have your current interface in the repository as soon as
we are in a position to accept outside contributions again.

Currently, outside contributions are on hold because getting approval
though IBM will take longer than the time we expect to remain hosted with
IBM.  (Once the incorporation of the COIN-OR Foundation is complete, we
will be moving our hosting outside of IBM so we can control our own
acceptance process.)

We'll post prominent announcements here when we are ready to take
contributions again.  Hopefully, it won't be long (but lawyers and federal
government paperwork are involved, so who knows...).
