+README file for :file:`recode/contrib/`
+=======================================
- The `contrib/' directory of the `recode' distribution contains a few
- miscellaneous tools, ports, or such things, which have been collected
- here and there, a bit randomly, for your possible entertainment or use.
+.. contents::

- Beware that nothing here is supported by the `recode' maintainer, you
- might have to contact the authors directly to get support. There is no
- guarantee that any file in this directory will still exist in subsequent
- releases. Finally, there is no guarantee either that I will accept
- to include contributions, unless I find them very good or very small.
- But I'm quite willing to give URL pointers to other tools, right here!

+The :file:`contrib/` directory of the Recode distribution contains a few
+miscellaneous tools, ports, or such things, which have been collected
+here and there, a bit randomly, for your possible entertainment or use.
- To the best of my knowledge, all included files are free, and already
- available widely by other means. I did not collect any kind legalistic
- papers proving that the contained material is indeed free. In case of
- a dispute, or at the mere request of the author, I'll quickly remove
- any dubious material. So, do not consider the files here as being as
- *safe* as the things you usually get from the Free Software Foundation.

- to help me at deciding what should be kept and what should go away.
