CONRTRIBUTING.md is the correct location for instructions for contributors. I was referring to instructions specifically for lesson maintainers. This information should not go in the main README.md or CONTRIBUTING.md because it is not relevant to the normal contributor. For example, some ideas of topics pertinent to lesson maintainers but not a normal contributor: 1. How to update the core files in your lesson repo by merging the core branch of lesson-template. 2. Rendering and committing the html files. 3. How to manage labels and assign individuals to PRs and Issues.
