The top paragraph on the page links to Craigs site which list all the missing contributer info and the pdf. The address to mail to is on the pdf. You have to snail mail a signed printout, as far as I know, for it to be a legally valid document.
Anybody else find the current situation unclear and have some input ?

I don't think the current text
"Please see http://netjam.org/squeak/contributors for current contributor information, as well as the contributor agreement (including details about where to send it)."
However I think it is mistargetted. How many people are going to be looking for a list of contributors? Instead I think you should target anyone reading this who thinks they have contributed to Squeak and does not remember having sent in a signed agreement and encourage them to check if they have and if not then do so. Secondarily then point out that if they have a moment they might want to look through the contributors list for anyone they know who is either not completely identified or who has not yet sent in their agreement.
Rough attempt:
"Have you contributed source to Squeak (prior to some date?)? If you believe you have but have not sent in an agreement to allow your submission(s) to be licensed under the MIT license then please see http://netjam.org/squeak/contributors . There you can find a list of known contributors and a PDF of the agreement with instructions.
Also there are a few people for which we are lacking full contact information. If you think you can help please also visit the link above and see if you can identify any of the unknown developer initials or any of the developers for whom we do not have a current email address."

Yes ken it would be better. I was also confused because I did not realized that the address was inside the text of the license.

Hi Stef--
I was also confused because I did not realized that the address was inside the text of the license.
The contributor site[1] also mentions where to send the agreement ("If you have received an agreement, please sign and return it to Viewpoints! Their address is in the agreement. If you didn't receive one but should have, you can get a copy of it here.").
Perhaps the fact that the mailing address is in the agreement could be repeated in the squeak.org website text.
thanks,

Yes may be this would be a good idea for the blinds like me.
Don't quite understand where you want a particular link; Let me know the link and the location and I can edit the page.
