On current master, this text says: If you would like to make more extensive contributions, see the =E2=80=98CONTRIBUTE=E2=80=99 file in the Emacs distribution for informati= on on how to be an Emacs developer. Perhaps we could just change "the Emacs distribution" to "the development version of Emacs"? > Or how about including CONTRIBUTE in the zip archive that users > download to install Emacs? The problem is that our conventions may change over time. New developers are better off looking for the latest version of the file.
