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.

bootstrap-vz
===========================================
bootstrap-vz is a bootstrapping framework for Debian.
It is is specifically targeted at bootstrapping systems for virtualized environments.
bootstrap-vz runs without any user intervention and generates ready-to-boot images for
[a number of virtualization platforms](http://andsens.github.io/bootstrap-vz/providers.html).
Its aim is to provide a reproducable bootstrapping process using [manifests](http://andsens.github.io/bootstrap-vz/manifest.html) as well as supporting a high degree of customizability through plugins.
bootstrap-vz was coded from scratch in python once the bash script architecture that was used in the
[build-debian-cloud](https://github.com/andsens/build-debian-cloud) bootstrapper reached its
limits.
