-# Contributing to imag
-
-So you want to contribute to imag! Thank you, that's awesome!
-
-If you already have something in mind, go ahead with [the prerequisites
-section](#prerequisites). If you don't know what you could do, start here.
-
-All contributors agree to the
-[developer certificate of origin](#developer-certificate-of-origin)
-by contributing to imag.
-
-## Without Github
-
-If you do not want to use github for your contribution, this is completely okay.
-Feel free to contact [us via our mailinglist](http://imag-pim.org/mailinglist/)
-via mail, feel also free to submit patches via mail (use `git format-patch` and
-`git send-email`, always add a cover letter to describe your submission).
-
-Also ensure that each commit has
-[a "Signed-off-by: " line](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1962094/what-is-the-sign-off-feature-in-git-for).
-By adding that line, you agree to our
-[developer certificate of origin](#developer-certificate-of-origin).
-
-Once _I am_ okay with your patchset, I will
-submit it as PR in the github repository, so more people can review it and CI
-can test it (the mailinglist is not yet used as much as github). I might come
-back to you if something broke in CI or someone has a suggestion how to improve
-your PR. I will keep you as author of the commits.
-
-The following sections describe the way how to contribute with github.
-
-## Finding an issue
-
-Finding an issue is simple: We have
-[a special label in our issues section](https://github.com/matthiasbeyer/imag/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Acomplexity%2Feasy)
-for easy-to-solve issues. You can start there, don't hesitate to ask questions
-if you do not understand the issue comment!
-
-Also, if you found bugs or outdated stuff in our documentation, feel free to
-file issues about them or even better: Write a pull request to fix them!
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-* cargo and rust compiler in current version (stable)
-* Ruby and Bundler if you want to write a Ruby module.
-
-Dependencies are listed in the
-[default.nix file](http://git.imag-pim.org/imag/tree/default.nix),
-though you do not have to have `nix` installed to build imag.
-
-`make` can be helpful to automate the build process.
-
-Note that this software is targeted towards commandline linux users and we do
-not aim to be portable to Windows or Mac OSX (though I wouldn't mind merging
-patches for OS X compatibility).
-
-* If you want to build the documentation (you don't have to)
- * pandoc
- * pandoc-citeproc
- * texlive
- * lmodern (font package)
- * make
-
-All dependencies are installable with the nix package manager by using a
-`nix-shell`, if you have the nix package manager installed on your system.
-
-## Commit guidelines
-
-Please don't refer to issues or PRs from inside a commit message, if possible.
-Make sure your PR does not contain "Fixup" commits when publishing it, but feel
-free to push "Fixup" commits in the review process. We will ask you to clean
-your history before merging!
-
-Make sure to prefix your commits with `"doc: "` if you change the document. Do
-not change document and code in one commit, always separate them.
-
-We do not follow some official Rust styleguide for our codebase, but we try to
-write minimal and readable code. 100 characters per line, as few lines as
-possible, avoid noise in the codebase, ... you get it.
-
-Not all of your commits have to be buildable. But your PR has to be.
-
-## PR guidelines
-
-We'd like to have one PR per module change. This means you _should_ only change
-one imag module in one commit or PR (library plus belonging binary is okay).
-As this is not always possible, we do not enforce this, though we might ask you
-to split your commits/PR into two smaller ones.
-
-Use feature branches. If you could name them "<module name>/<what you do>",
-for example "libimagstore/add-debugging-calls", that would be awesome.
-
-You are welcome to publish your PR as soon as there is one commit in your
-branch. This gives us the possibility to review whether your ideas go into a
-nice direction or whether there are issues with your approach and we can report
-them to you rather quickly. Rewriting a whole PR is not satisfactory and we'd
-like to make your contribution process enjoyable.
-
-# Merging tools which use the imag core functionality into this repo
-
-If you're writing an application or module for imag, feel free to propose
-integrating it into the imag core distribution, if it fulfills the following
-requirements:
-
-1. It is written in Rust or Ruby
-1. It has a commandline interface which is the main interface to the module
- OR it is a utility library for creating new kinds of functionality within the
- imag core.
-1. It is licensed under the terms of GNU LGPLv2.1 OR all of your contributors
- approve a commit which changes the license of your codebase to GNU LGPLv2.1
- (The word "approve" in this sentence is to be defined).
-
-(If your tool does not fulfill these requirements, I won't merge it into the
-imag core distribution.)
-
-## Code of Conduct
-
-We use the same
-[code of conduct as the rust community does](https://www.rust-lang.org/conduct.html).
-
-Basically: Be kind, encourage others to ask questions - you are encouraged to
-ask questions as well!
-
-## Contact
-
-Feel free to reach out via mail/[mailinglist](http://imag-pim.org/mailinglist/)
-or [IRC](irc://irc.freenode.net/#imag).

-## More information about the structure of this project
-
-Here goes some notes on how this project is structured.
-
-### Issue- and PR-Labels
-
-Our labels are color coded as well as "namespaced". The color groups labels
-exactly as the prefix does. The prefix is the first component which is seperated
-from the others by `"/`". See below:
