Thanks Andrea, the content looks fine.
Even then I think we could lighten up that page as it serves too many purposes
right now - it is trying to document the role contributor and the
responsibility that goes along with that. It has now gotten distracted into
being "contributor guidelines" first with different size contributions, and now
pull requests.
Our page on pull requests is a similar muddle, but is a better place for talk
first policy:
http://docs.geotools.org/latest/developer/procedures/pull_requests.html
In addition to the README we can provide a link from
http://geotools.org/getinvolved.html

Hi,
since we keep on getting non trivial pull requests that had no previous
discussion on the
list, or no tests, or violate in other creative ways the preferred approach to
contribution,
I've tried to make things a bit more visible by expaning the contributor's
page, and
linking it from our github home page:
https://github.com/geotools/geotools/pull/310
Most of the page is really just summary and links to other pages, and not all
of them
to be fair.
The material is really already there, but it's too buried and the impatient
will simply never get to read it,
the patch just tries to give direct links from the home page, Github, an
provide executive summary
to avoid the major pitfalls we're seeing when people try to contribute code to
the project
Comments welcomed :-)
Cheers
Andrea
