Dunno if the wiki pages would suit some sections better. The best part of CONTRIBUTING.md is that every time some one opens a new issue or a PR there's a banner:\r\n\r\n**\"Please review the [guidelines for contributing](https://github.com/WhisperSystems/Signal-Android/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) to this repository.\"**\r\n\r\nAnother question is of course how many people actually read it and follow the link. :smile: \r\n\r\nThere's some overlap with README.md but I think you can't repeat these things enough.\r\n\r\nI also had references (links to comments in issues and PRs) for almost all parts but decided to just remove them. I don't want to :boom: this more than necessary.\r\n\r\nEdit: This is meant to be freebie.
