-implementation) with the core development team.
+For more information about how to contribute, please read `the MongoDB Wiki on GitHub`_.

-JIRA Tickets
-------------
-
-All commits to the MongoDB repository must reference an issue in the `SERVER project`_ of the
-MongoDB JIRA.  Before creating any new tickets, please search the existing backlog for any open
-tickets that represent your change request.  If there is not one, then you should create a new
-ticket.
-
-For bugs, please clearly describe the issue you are resolving, including the platforms on which
-the issue is present and clear steps to reproduce.
-
-For improvements or feature requests, be sure to explain the goal or use case and the approach
-your solution will take.

-The Life Cycle of a Pull Request
---------------------------------
-
-Here's what happens when you submit a pull request:
-
-- The MongoDB engineering team will review your pull request to make sure you have included a
-  SERVER ticket in your request and signed the contributor agreement.
-- You should receive a response from one of our engineers with additional questions about your
-  contributions.
-- If your pull request matches a ticket and is aligned with the Server Roadmap, it will get
-  triaged and reviewed by the Kernel team.
-- Pull requests that have been reviewed and approved will be signed off and merged into a
-  development branch and the associated JIRA SERVER issue will be resolved with an expected
-  fixVersion.

-Style Guide
------------
-
-All commits to the MongoDB repository must follow the `kernel development rules`_.
-
-In particular, all code must follow the MongoDB `kernel code style guidelines`_.  For anything
-not covered in this document you should default to the `Google CPP Style Guide`_ and the

-Testing
--------

-Every non-trivial change to the code base should be accompanied by a relevant addition to or
-modification of the test suite.  If you do not believe this is necessary, please add an explanation
-in the JIRA ticket why no such changes are either needed or possible.
-
-All changes must also pass the full test suite (including your test additions/changes) on your
-local machine before you open a pull request.
