> As [discussed in dev-list|https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/raa4a0538fb7b32ebf4ec2d9a26bf04680b001b2723b70633eb06bcb4%40%3Cdev.solr.apache.org%3E], we should add a {{CONTRIBUTING.md}} file to serve as the first introduction for how to contribute:
> {quote}Currently we have our wiki page [HowToContribute|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SOLR/HowToContribute], which is linked from README.md. But there has been complaints lately that this wiki page is old and needlessly complex / long.
> Some benefits of a CONTRIBUTING file are:
>  * People immediately understand what to expect when they see the file (visibility)
>  * GitHub has [built-in support for it|https://docs.github.com/en/communities/setting-up-your-project-for-healthy-contributions/setting-guidelines-for-repository-contributors] and will display a link when someone opens a PR.
>  * We can author it from scratch, with better, clearer structure
> The file can of course rely on linking to dev-docs, wiki and website as needed, so the file can likely stay quite compact.
