-==========
-This world is not salty enough yet... help us make it a saltier place:
-
-* install gitflow e.g. aptitude install git-flow on Debian or from source https://github.com/nvie/gitflow
-* fork the salt repository to you your github account
-* git clone git@github.com:<youraccount>/salt.git
-* cd salt; ./setuprepo.sh
-
-Start contributing... write a test, make sure the test fails, write
-the actual code, make the test pass and if it does, make an atomic
-commit (referencing the issue(s) if this is a fix) and git push to
-your fork. Issue a pull request so one of the saltstack members can
-review it and accept or require/advice a change. Lather, rinse,
-repeat...
-
-* git pull upstream develop
-* write the test, make it fail...
-* pep8, pylint, pychecker
-* commit, push
-* pull request
-
-Following the gitflow branching model is optional i.e. if you prefer a
-different branching model then that's fine. All that setuprepo.sh does
-is provide you with a quick and hassle-free way to setup the same
-branching model that's used for the main repository.
