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. Its aim is to provide a reproducable bootstrapping process using manifests 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 bootstrapper reached its limits.
Documentation
The end-user documentation for bootstrap-vz is available at andsens.github.io/bootstrap-vz. There, you can discover what the dependencies for a specific cloud provider are, see a list of available plugins and learn how you create a manifest.
Developers
The API documentation can be found at bootstrap-vz.readthedocs.org.
Contributing
Contribution guidelines are described on the CONTRIBUTING file. There's also a topic on the documentation regarding the coding style.
