    Resolution: Duplicate

> Add a CONTRIBUTING file
> -----------------------
>
>                 Key: SOLR-15682
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-15682
>             Project: Solr
>          Issue Type: Task
>          Components: documentation
>            Reporter: Jan Høydahl
>            Assignee: Eric Pugh
>            Priority: Major

> As [discussed in 
> dev-list|https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/raa4a0538fb7b32ebf4ec2d9a26bf04680b001b2723b70633eb06bcb4%40%3Cdev.solr.apache.org%3E],
>  we should add a {{CONTRIBUTING.md}} file to serve as the first introduction 
> for how to contribute:
> {quote}Currently we have our wiki page 
> [HowToContribute|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SOLR/HowToContribute],
>  which is linked from README.md. But there has been complaints lately that 
> this wiki page is old and needlessly complex / long.
> Some benefits of a CONTRIBUTING file are:
>  * People immediately understand what to expect when they see the file 
> (visibility)
>  * GitHub has [built-in support for 
> it|https://docs.github.com/en/communities/setting-up-your-project-for-healthy-contributions/setting-guidelines-for-repository-contributors]
>  and will display a link when someone opens a PR.
>  * We can author it from scratch, with better, clearer structure
> The file can of course rely on linking to dev-docs, wiki and website as 
> needed, so the file can likely stay quite compact.
