<br>
There's a statement on contributing in the readme at<br>
<a href="https://github.com/lutraconsulting/MDAL/blob/master/README.md-" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/lutraconsulting/MDAL/blob/master/README.md-</a> I felt<br>
it was clear enough?<br>
<br>
Ideally my vote should close today, but we don't have a quorum so<br>
shall we just keep it open for another fortnight or do you want to<br>
make a separate CONTRIBUTING.md file a condition of acceptance?<br>

The README had some tips on building but not using the library.<br>
