-1) Build an adapter.
-
-2) Submit a pull request to an adapter (e.g. add streaming support to `sails-yelp`)
-
-3) Submit a pull request to a generator (e.g. CoffeeScript support for `sails-generate-controller`, or better syncing in the Gruntfile in `sails-generate-gruntfile`)
-
-4) Build a hook (e.g. custom migration support in Waterline)

-Like any OSS project, we must have guidelines for contributions.  It helps protect the quality of the code, and gives all of us confidence that our framework will be robust and dependable.
+## Contribution Guidelines
+Like any open-source project, we must have guidelines for contributions.  It helps protect the quality of the code, and gives all of us confidence that our framework will stay robust and dependable.
 Whether it's a bug fix, or a huge new feature set, it's important that we consistently apply these checks and balances for *all* contributions to Sails.
 
 Please check over the following requirements before submitting a pull request:
- - Pull requests should be submitted to the `v0.10` branch.
  - Bug fixes should have accompanying tests where possible.
- - Should follow Sails.js JShint Guidelines (See .jshint file in repo)
-
-Any pull request to `master` (our production branch) will be closed, with an invitation to resubmit to `v0.10`.  
-I know this stuff sounds kind of brutal, but we want to keep `master`'s tests passing at all times, since it reflects what is in `npm`.
-If you have a high priority hot-fix for the currently deployed version, please let us know with an issue, and mention @mikermcneil.  Also, for emergencies, please feel free to tweet @sailsjs.  That'll text me (Mike).  Sounds a little insane probably, but if there's a big problem, I want to know about it!

 Now that we are all on the same page, lets get to coding some awesomeness of our own :D

-## Trying out your fork with your application
-If you have a project using Sails, and you want to test your new version, please do the following:
+## Running your fork with your application
+If you forked Sails, and you want to test your Sails app against your fork, here's how you do it:
 
-In your Sails repo:
-sudo npm link
+In your local copy of your fork of Sails:
+`npm link`
 
-In your project repo:
-npm link sails
+In your Sails app's repo:
+`npm link sails`
 
-Tada!  Your project will now be using your forked version.  If you're not sure it worked, put some crazy `console.log()` in the core to make sure.  Again, if you've got any issues, hit us up ([@sailsjs](https://twitter.com/sailsjs)). 
+This creates a symbolic link as a local dependency (in your app's `node_modules` folder).  This has the effect of letting you run your app with the version Sails you `linked`.
+```bash
+$ node app.js
+```
