-# Contributing
-We love your input! We want to make contributing to this project as easy and transparent as possible, whether it's:
-
-- Reporting a bug
-- Discussing the current state of the code
-- Submitting a fix
-- Proposing new features
-- Becoming a maintainer
-
-## We Develop with Github
-We use github to host code, to track issues and feature requests, as well as accept pull requests.
-
-## We Use [Github Flow](https://guides.github.com/introduction/flow/index.html), So All Code Changes Happen Through Pull Requests
-Pull requests are the best way to propose changes to the codebase (we use [Github Flow](https://guides.github.com/introduction/flow/index.html)). We actively welcome your pull requests:
-
-1. Fork the repo and create your branch from `master`.
-2. If you've added code that should be tested, add tests.
-3. If you've changed APIs, update the documentation.
-4. Ensure the test suite passes.
-5. Make sure your code lints.
-6. Issue that pull request!
-
-## Any contributions you make will be under the MIT Software License
-In short, when you submit code changes, your submissions are understood to be under the same [MIT License](http://choosealicense.com/licenses/mit/) that covers the project. Feel free to contact the maintainers if that's a concern.
-
-## Report bugs using Github's [issues](https://github.com/briandk/transcriptase-atom/issues)
-We use GitHub issues to track public bugs. Report a bug by [opening a new issue](); it's that easy!
-
-## Write bug reports with detail, background, and sample code
-
-**Great Bug Reports** tend to have:
-
-- A quick summary and/or background
-- Steps to reproduce
-  - Be specific!
-  - Give sample code if you can. Include sample code so that *anyone* can run to reproduce what I was seeing
-- What you expected would happen
-- What actually happens
-- Notes (possibly including why you think this might be happening, or stuff you tried that didn't work)
-
-People *love* thorough bug reports. I'm not even kidding.
