I have changed our HowToContribute page. Most of the changes are trivial (Hudson->Jenkins, etc.). One significant change it that I changed all the places we say contributors should run "ant test" before submitting their patch to saying they should run "ant test-commit". We (as committers, and hopefully soon again Jenkins automatically) run them all before committing the patch anyway. Asking users to run 8 hours of tests isn't realistic.
