I've begun a set of contributor guidelines for coreutils that is

Thanks for the link.
I just pulled it down and unpacked the tarball for git, but I expect it
will take a while before I can get it working.
It looks like the fastest thing to do is set up a linux system and mount
a VMS directory through NFS, but I will not be able to do that for about
a month.
I really was not planning to tackle updating the coreutils to VMS at
this time, I have been working on improving Perl on VMS, however I found
my self needing a more current tar because of issues with Perl's
handling of Tar archives.
I have written clearance from $DAYJOB to do this work, so there should
be no problem with getting the paperwork going.
