Tiago Ilieve 3ee994d9bf Add contribution guidelines
I've added a _Contributing_ section to the README and a [CONTRIBUTING
file](https://github.com/blog/1184-contributing-guidelines). I do not
expected for these changes to be merged right away, as they can be seen
as a draft from what I've observed in the past weeks. The intention here
is not only help the developers that are new to the project, but also
make it easier for Anders to deal with new patches.

Contributing

Do you want to contribute to the bootstrap-vz project? Nice! Here is the basic workflow:

  • Fork this repository.
  • Make any changes you want/need.
  • Commit your changes.
  • Squash the commits if needed. For instance, it is fine if you have multiple commits describing atomic units of work, but theres no reason to have many commits just because of corrected typos.
  • Push to your fork, preferable on a topic branch.

By this moment, there are two paths that you have to consider:

If you patch is a new feature, e.g.: plugin, provider, etc. then:

  • Send a pull request to the development branch. It will be merged to the master branch when we can make sure that the code is stable.

If it as a bug/security fix:

  • Send a pull request to the master branch.

Please try to be very descriptive about your changes when you write a pull request, stating what it does, why it is needed, what use cases do you think it would be useful, etc.

Be aware that your modifications needs to be properly documented and pushed to the gh-pages branch.

Happy hacking! :-)
