What I was really asking was about the very basic mechanics of it. "Where are the instructions about how to sign up" meant "do I have to register somewhere and if so where and how?" "Where are the instructions about what to do" meant "suppose I have registered and have the latest Pharo open on my laptop; how do I connect to the repository, how do I submit a change for review?" I have been playing with Pharo since version 1 but I've never actually connected to a repository.
I think a "Complete Idiot's Guide to Getting Started with Distributed Development in Phraro" probably already exists somewhere, I just don't know where to look for it.
