Hi Jo, and thanks for the feedback!
Yes, the contributors guidelines is short and aimed at more tech savvy
users. Most contributions for our project are actual from non-tech
end-users giving feedback over mail. But I would like all kind of
contributions to be on Github, so I'll take a look at your links and
expand the guide.
Being AGPL licensed all contributions will be made under that same
license. This may not be obvious to all, so I'll make that clear in the
guide.
