Description

Following the last round of edits in GOVERNANCE.MD https://github.com/OpenRefine/OpenRefine/pull/6737 @wetneb proposed to:

  1. improve the documentation on the website with whatever information is in CONTRIBUTING.md and not there yet
  2. change CONTRIBUTING.md to be a redirection to the website as suggested below
Thank you for your interest in contributing to OpenRefine! Our documentation for new contributors is at:

Contributor guide

No contributing guide indexed for this repository

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Compare CONTRIBUTING.md with the contributor documentation at https://openrefine.org/docs/technical-reference/contributing, identifying information present in the former but missing from the website. Update the website documentation with that content, then replace CONTRIBUTING.md with the specified redirect text. Done means the relevant guidance is available on the website and the repository file points contributors there.
