Project needs Contributing Guidelines #13
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
At the moment, if someone wants to contribute to this project -- whether in the form of Issues, Pull Requests, or something else -- they have very little guidance on how to do that.
Describe the solution you'd like
A document named CONTRIBUTING.md needs to be created at the root of the repo, with suitable and well-thought-out contents.
Describe alternatives you've considered
The document could perhaps be placed under docs/, but I think it will be more visible in the root folder.
Additional context
This is one of GitHub's community recommendations.
