I believe you wanted to reply to all (which I do). I agree. In general, I believe that our contribution guidelines are broken. For coders in particular, heading to the developer section of the website has a light introduction to vala, but says nothing on how to actually contribute to elementary (i.e., what is current target/milestone, how to pick goals to tackle, how to assign blueprint/bug to you or notify developers that you started working on something etc.).
So a question is, do we have such a text somewhere internally (which we need only to polish and get online) or do we have to write it from scratch?
