@HedgeMage thanks for the pull request. Over at https://irclogs.jackgrigg.com/irc.freenode.net/openhatch/2017-06-04#i_4123313 @HedgeMage was saying that potential contributors "look at a doc about how to do things, and it completely skips what they want to know (which we don't accept as a concept): How do I get permission to participate?" I asked her to take a swing at improving our CONTRIBUTING.md file. I'll move this over to code review at https://waffle.io/IQSS/dataverse |

Just made a few small edits for phrasing, looks great! It's ready for @kcondon's review. |

New Contributors
Welcome! New contributors should at least glance at CONTRIBUTING.md, especially the section on pull requests where we encourage you to reach out to other developers before you start coding. Also, please note that we measure code coverage and prefer you write unit tests. Pull requests can still be reviewed without tests or completion of the checklist outlined below. Thanks!
