-## Contributing via Pull Requests
-Contributions via pull requests are much appreciated. Before sending us a pull request, please ensure that:
-
-1. You are working against the latest source on the *main* branch.
-2. You check existing open, and recently merged, pull requests to make sure someone else hasn't addressed the problem already.
-3. You open an issue to discuss any significant work - we would hate for your time to be wasted.
-
-To send us a pull request, please:
-
-1. Fork the repository.
-2. Modify the source; please focus on the specific change you are contributing. If you also reformat all the code, it will be hard for us to focus on your change.
-3. Ensure local tests pass.
-4. Commit to your fork using clear commit messages.
-5. Send us a pull request, answering any default questions in the pull request interface.
-6. Pay attention to any automated CI failures reported in the pull request, and stay involved in the conversation.
-
-GitHub provides additional document on [forking a repository](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/) and
-[creating a pull request](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-pull-request/).

-## Finding contributions to work on
-Looking at the existing issues is a great way to find something to contribute on. As our projects, by default, use the default GitHub issue labels (enhancement/bug/duplicate/help wanted/invalid/question/wontfix), looking at any 'help wanted' issues is a great place to start.
