From fdf55c2817c9a457de4d5609cabfda0aa0620dc1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Samuel Merritt Date: Wed, 21 Nov 2012 11:08:37 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Add CONTRIBUTING file. If the CONTRIBUTING[.md] file exists, Github will show a link to it to anyone who files an issue on Github or opens a pull request on Github. We don't want people to do that, so this file points people at the OpenStack wiki page with instructions on how to contribute properly. This should cut down on the number of pull requests and Github issues that we then have to spend our valuable time ignoring. See also .
