-------------------------------------

             Summary: Update the How to Contribute page
                 Key: OOZIE-3651
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-3651
             Project: Oozie
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: docs
            Reporter: Andras Salamon


The How to Contribute page ( [https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOZIE/How+To+Contribute] ) is quite obsolete, we need to update it.

A few problems:
 * JDK 1.6: We use JDK 1.8
 * Maven 3.0: The minimum required version is 3.5.3 ( OOZIE-3557 )
 * The documentation suggest to use {{diff --no-prefix}} but it gave an error in precommit ( [https://ci-hadoop.apache.org/job/PreCommit-OOZIE-Build/56/] )
 * we should emphasise that we don't support pull requests yet so patches has to be uploaded to the Jira
 * I'm not sure what should be use for review tools? Originally we used reviewboard, but that's quite obsolete. Using github pull request is easy, but it's confusing because we don't really support it.

To be honest I'm not sure if a separate wiki page is the best place for this info. But moving this (maybe to a simple {{CONTRIBUTING.md}} file) is for an other jira.
