-----------------------------------
I think it's a bit too much for the file, and a link to
http://cordova.apache.org/#contribute would be good. maybe more like:

Apache Cordova is an ambitious project with only a limited number of people
developing on the project full-time. Community contributions from people like
yourself are what really drives the success of the platform.
There are multiple ways you can contribute, such as filing bugs, improving or
translating documentation, adding features or fixing bugs in the code. For more
guidance, refer to http://cordova.apache.org/#contribute.
For most, all that is needed is:
1. Sign and submit an Apache Contributor License Agreement (can be done
[online](http://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas)
2. File a pull request against a the github mirrors
We look forward to your contributions!

> There will be subtasks related, so this has no component.
> This adds a visual indicator for guidelines, in Github:
> See: https://github.com/blog/1184-contributing-guidelines
> This will help with pull requests and such. Currently contributors either
> have to know that:
> 1. They have to sign the Apache iCLA
> 2. They have to file a corresponding JIRA issue (highly recommended)
> 3. Run tests, so their patch doesn't break existing functionality
> This will greatly help with the workload of committers.
