Summary

Adds docs/contributing/index.md as the entry point for all contributors.

Without this, external contributors arrive at the repo with no guidance on where to start, what the codebase structure is, or how to find relevant work.

Covers:

  • Types of contributions (plugins, API extensions, bug fixes, docs, UI)
  • Component map — which directory owns which subsystem, with brief descriptions of each
  • Before-you-start checklist (fork, read terminology, build, sandbox)
  • How to find issues (labels, GitHub Discussions)
  • Making a contribution — 5-step summary
  • Per-contribution-type guides linking to all existing detailed docs (plugin guide, API guide, dev guides)

Part of the operator/contributor guide improvements proposed in #1033.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Covers component map, types of contributions, finding work, quick
start steps, and links to all existing detailed guides.
