-Contributing to Ansible
-=======================
-
-It is required that you read the following information to learn how to contribute to this project.
-
-Branch Info
-===========
-
-Here's how to understand the branches.
-
-   * The devel branch corresponds to the latest ongoing release
-   * Various release-X.Y branches exist for previous releases
-   * All feature work happens on the development branch.
-   * Major bug fixes will be made to the last release branch only
-   * See CHANGELOG.md for release notes to track each release.
-
-Patch Instructions
-==================
-
-Contributions to the core and modules are greatly welcome.
-
-   * Required Process:
-       * Submit github pull requests to the "ansible/devel" branch for features
-       * Fixes for bugs may also be submitted to "ansible/release-X.Y" for the last release
-       * Make sure "make tests" passes before submitting any requests.
-   * Bonus points:
-       * Joining the mailing list
-       * Fixing bugs instead of sending bug reports.
-       * Using squash merges
-       * Updating the "rst/*" files in the docs project and "docs/" manpage content
-       * Adding more unit tests
-   * Avoid:
-       * Sending patches to the mailing list directly.
-       * Sending feature pull requests to the 'release' branch instead of the devel branch
-       * Sending pull requests to mpdehaan's personal ansible fork.
-       * Sending pull requests about more than one feature in the same pull request.
-       * Whitespace restructuring
-       * Large scale refactoring without a discussion on the list
-
-Coding Standards
-================
-
-We're not too strict on style considerations, but we require:
-
-   * python 2.6 compliant code, unless in ansible modules, then python *2.4* compliant code (no 'with', etc)
-   * 4-space indents, no tabs except in Makefiles
-   * under_scores for method names and variables, not camelCase
-   * GPLv3 license headers on all files, with copyright on new files with your name on it
-   * no single-line if statements, deeply nested list comprehensions, or clever use of metaclasses -- keep it simple
-   * comments where appropriate
-
