Makes sense. > If you prefer I can remove everything but the "Note to Github Users" and > then mention they should refer to README.md for more info. If we keep CONTRIBUTING.md, better to make it independent from Github - that is I'm suggesting that we move all contributing indications to README.md, or we keep them in a separate file CONTRIBUTING.md, as proposed by this patch. In case we adopt the second solution (which I'm fine with), then you could mention CONTRIBUTING.md in README.md and remove the corresponding section, since otherwise you're duplicating the information stated in README.md. -- FFmpeg = Frenzy & Frenzy Mean Power Empowered Gem _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
