lukaszlenart opened a new pull request, #1757: URL: https://github.com/apache/struts/pull/1757
Adds a self-contained, newcomer-oriented `CONTRIBUTING.md` at the repository root. GitHub surfaces it automatically on the New Issue / New PR screens. Motivated by a new contributor on [WW-5637](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-5637) who asked for documentation covering the project structure, how the framework is maintained, the development workflow, and the steps to contribute. No such newcomer guide existed (the `struts-site/contributors` pages target committers/release managers). Covers: getting help (mailing lists, JIRA), project overview + module map, prerequisites & building (JDK 17, `mvn test -DskipAssembly`, `-Pjakartaee11`), finding work, the fork→branch→PR workflow with the `WW-XXXX` conventions, private security reporting, and licensing / Code of Conduct. Release/signing/key-setup/IDE-license topics are intentionally out of scope (committer concerns already documented on struts-site). Documentation only — no code changes. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
