Thanks @SachinRajakaruna for the PR. I think some of the content in your PR can be repurposed to enhance CONTRIBUTING.md, but I don't think it makes sense to have two different contributing guidelines. For example, info in the "💡 What You Can Contribute?" and "🧭 How to Get Started?" could be added. We have an open issue to improve CONTRIBUTING.md #1; however, the information there likely exceeds the scope of this contribution. For your reference, there is a similar repository with a CONTRIBUTING.md file that features an enhanced structure, which we can use as inspiration for this one. |
