Add a CONTRIBUTING.md starting point
As that seems nice, and I wanted there to be a (subtle) pointer to the ideas page.

Gabbi gets better because of the contributions from the people who use
|
||||
it. These contributions come in many forms:
|
||||
|
||||
* Joining the #gabbi channel on Freenode IRC at freenode.net and
|
||||
having a chat.
|
||||
* Improvements to make the documentation more complete, more correct
|
||||
and typo free.
|
||||
* Reporting and reviewing bugs in the
|
||||
[issues](https://github.com/cdent/gabbi/issues)
|
||||
* Providing [pull requests](https://github.com/cdent/gabbi/pulls)
|
||||
containing fixes and new features.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have an idea for a new feature it is best to review the
|
||||
[Ideas](https://github.com/cdent/gabbi/wiki/Ideas) wiki page and the
|
||||
existing issues and pull requests to see if there is existing work you
|
||||
can contribute to. It's also worthwhile to ask around in IRC.
|
||||
|
||||
In general the default stance with gabbi is to avoid adding new features
|
||||
if we can come up with some way to use the existing features to solve
|
||||
the requirements of your tests. This helps to keep the test format
|
||||
as clean and readable as possible.
|
||||
|
||||
If you reach an impasse, create an issue and provide as much info as you
|
||||
can about your situation and together we can try to figure it out.
