The optional contribution modules (aka "contribs") are tools or plugins operating on top of Condor. None of them underlie the Condor development cycle and the Condor team does not provide support for most of them (exceptions are described in the respective module). Many of the modules are hosted within Condor's git repository in the condor_contrib folder and are distributed with the Condor source release, however, they are not part of Condor's release binaries.

If you want to provide your own contrib module, please follow the instructions on the wiki page ProvideContribModules.
