Hi Gabriel, Thanks for doing this -- the wiki already has a really good collection of clarifications and advice. A couple of quick review comments/suggestions: * The unfortunate naming clash between "accepting" a ticket and a ticket having a triage state of "accepted" needs to be clarified. That's one area where Trac genuinely is confusing, even to me. * The FAQ entries you describe are possible duplicates of the entries that are already in Django's contribution FAQ [1]. I'm not sure if we need to add additional Q's to that list to cover DDN and RFC specifically, or if we just need to clarify the text in the existing FAQs. * I'll try to take a swing at "The spirit of contribution" section if I can find a moment.
