Description
Increasing Access
How does this increase access?
Improving the structure and readability of CONTRIBUTING.md makes it
easier for:
- New contributors who are not familiar with the codebase
- Non-native English speakers who need clear formatting to follow along
- Contributors using screen readers or assistive tools where
proper markdown structure matters
Feature enhancement details
Summary
The CONTRIBUTING.md file has inconsistent spacing and uneven formatting
that makes it harder to read, especially for new contributors.
Proposed Changes
- Add proper blank lines between sections
- Consistent list formatting throughout
- No words or links changed — structure only
Why
First-time contributors rely heavily on this file.
Clean formatting makes it easier to navigate.
