Cash Costello commented on THRIFT-2855: --------------------------------------- Complicating the generation of your website content is a good argument against doing this. > Move contributing.md to the root of the repository > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: THRIFT-2855 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-2855 > Project: Thrift > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Documentation > Reporter: Cash Costello > Priority: Minor > > Github automatically picks up the file CONTRIBUTING.md if it is in the root > of the repository and adds a notice for those making pull requests. See > https://help.github.com/articles/setting-guidelines-for-repository-contributors/ > This should reduce the number of times that Thrift developers have to > manually post links to the contributing guidelines on Github pull requests. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
