From dfa6a6e1d15314e9f259f1df9368659a998dfbe2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Chacon Date: Tue, 6 Sep 2011 12:32:51 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Add more explicit contributing explanation Most developers on GitHub are not used to projects that use the Signed-off-by convention. They do, however, tend to read the READMEs to see which conventions the author prefers to follow. If you are explicit about what you prefer in the README with easy to follow instructions, it is more likely people will follow those conventions.
