From 53ed7d5ce25cda4aa7b8c0ff5fc0c9a61d5694f8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lauryn Menard Date: Fri, 13 Jan 2023 11:15:09 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] docs: Remove paragraph about getting help finding issues in contributing. Removes a paragraph about posting in the new members stream to get help finding issues to work on from the first contribution part of the contributing guide. Also updates the remaining section about posting to new members as a way to introduce yourself with a link to the community norms and offering positive feedback as well as constructive criticism. --- CONTRIBUTING.md | 17 +++++------------ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/CONTRIBUTING.md b/CONTRIBUTING.md index a74ecf7681..d99b283740 100644 --- a/CONTRIBUTING.md +++ b/CONTRIBUTING.md @@ -76,12 +76,13 @@ to help. - First, make an account on the [Zulip community server](https://zulip.com/development-community/), - paying special attention to the community norms.
