The update to contributing.md is useful, and it would be valuable to tie in howto's on the matter, such as what it takes to test and/or develop the code. Is there something easy to add to the list, such as

acquiring and operating with the code

that could also become an useful link to how-to information.

@orcmid @mrkmarron Is it better now?

[orcmid]

Nice improvement, separate from what I was suggesting

[orcmid]

What's wrong with a leading topic,

# acquiring and operating with the code

so that folks who have never worked on a programming language or its processor can learn what the prerequisites are, and how simply to run the current build, become familiar with examples and tests?

I favor many of the expansions of this page, although it might be well to have separate pages with details and have short abstracts at this level?

I am sorry that I give advice but do not do the work. I am still learning how to synchronize my fork and its desktop clone, and then how to make a pull request.

Looks good with a few minor tweaks.

Let's delete "We love you input!" here.

[mrkmarron]

Let's include "Check if the same, or a similar, issue has already been reported" to minimize duplicates and help connect issues that may be related.
