Description

The documentation will have a howto on contributing. This is in
addition to the hacking howto. We decided last week that it was a
good idea to have two separate chapters so that we can more easily
focus on getting non-code contributors into the project.

For April 30th, the contributing howto should have the following
sections:


1. filing bugs
2. translating
3. hacking -- which refers to the hacking howto
4. theming -- which refers to the theming howto (which will be a
   stub for April 30th)
5. where to go when you get stuck

We should have a section for each kind of work we need help with.
What other sections should it have?

Adding everyone to the watch list on this one because it needs more
thought.

Putting this in the 0.0.1 target.

We did a contributor howto sprint party and it was moderately
successful. I think the document is good enough, though it'd do a
lot better if:


1. Deb did a pass on it
2. Matt did a pass on it
3. Rob did a pass on it

Can you three do a pass on the document in the next few days?

The current version is here:

I got Asheesh to do a pass on it and I'm really happy with the
results. I'm going to close this one out.
