Hello, I have modified the contribute and support pages. Please review and let me know if I’m heading in the right direction or not. Basically shifted things to a single frame layout, removed some items others had proposed as wiki bound and reworded some text here and there. Also let me know if the knife went too deep and I can add items/sections back in as needed/directed. I could use some direction on if I should also work some of the items in the wiki and migrate the content there, etc. If I should do that, please direct me on how to create a wiki account (sorry, I’ve looked but haven’t found a “user registration” page - could be I’m blind so please confirm if true :-) ).
