This link doesn't seem to be working for me.

Yea I don't really quite understand what I have messed up in the markdown.

The markdown looks fine to me, but I'm getting "The requested filter doesn't exist or is private. Try logging in." when going to the link.

Ah, the same UI fail I've had every time - select who to share it with, click "Save". Forgot to click "+Add" first.

retest this please |

Looks good now. The tests are failing due to #429 (and I don't have write permission to merge it.) |
|
retest this please |

@robertwb but you should have write permission - it is being a committer + gitbox. Or did we block everyone other than mergebot? |
|
@asfgit merge |
|
I don't know the details of permissions, but I amm able to manually merge so it must not be just locked down to just mergebot. |

Somehow this repo is configured differently than the beam one. Or perhaps it's due to being a special branch--I get a link to https://help.github.com/articles/about-protected-branches/ instead of the merge button. |

Oh, yeah, you have write access to gitbox but not GitHub. And you do have to manually generate the content when you manually merge. The asf-site branch is directly mirrored to deploy the site. We could do a medium lift and move src development to master and the built site on asf-site, with hooks to build. Would enable simpler flow. I don't have bandwidth to drive such a change. |

This is sort of a minimal change to the contribution guide to make the opening lines a bit friendlier and more concise. I also wanted to link directly to a saved JIRA search for starter tasks.
There's lots more to do to make the guide more concise and welcoming.
