For people which just have found our source code especially over GitHub sometimes seem to have problems finding out how to contribute. This is sad as it prevents us building a bigger community. While we have a wiki which conatins a lot informations, this seems to get overlooked. I guess a contributing fact is that most software today has these informations contained in the repository itself. While I am not going to duplicate the wiki to have these informations in our repository I still think it is a good idea to have a short guide to lead new contributers into the right direction. Someone now could argue that new people just a too * to look at the right place and that's why we do not need these documents. I do not think so because of several points: First people get used to look for information at a readme. I guees that is because of the fact both GitHub and Gitlab place the readme so prominently. Second starting in a new project is hard. Finding the right place where to start is also not easy as every project is different. Giving people a short introduction what the first steps could be is definitely needed. Signed-off-by: Jonatan Schlag <jonatan.schlag@ipfire.org>
