14401	Add a contributing HOWTO page for new contributors	Gabriel Hurley	Gabriel Hurley	"There has been repeated talk of consolidating the ""community wisdom"" and ""the spirit of contributing to Django"" in a way that's more accessible and to-the-point for new users in a way that the current contributing docs may not be. Most recently Russell mentioned it in this thread:

http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_frm/thread/9ebc3e57d539d1ff

I would like to put such a page in the official docs together, and to that end I have created a wiki page to serve as the basis for the eventual patch:
