Simplify the documentation update guideline for contributors.

Changes:

  • Contributors now only need to update README.md for documentation changes
  • Website documentation updates will be handled by maintainers

This reduces the barrier for contributions by not requiring contributors to understand the website structure.

Checklist

  • Run npm run test
  • Run npm run lint

Contributors now only need to update README.md for documentation changes.
Website documentation updates will be handled by maintainers.

Summary of Changes

Hello @yamadashy, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request simplifies the documentation update guideline for contributors by centralizing all documentation changes to the README.md file. This strategic shift offloads the responsibility of updating website-specific documentation to the maintainers, thereby making the contribution process more accessible and less daunting for new and existing contributors.

Highlights

  • Simplified Documentation Updates: Contributors are now only required to update the README.md file when making documentation changes, streamlining the process.
  • Maintainer Responsibility for Website Docs: All updates to the website's documentation will now be handled by the project maintainers, removing this burden from contributors.
  • Reduced Barrier to Contribution: This change aims to lower the entry barrier for new contributors by not requiring them to understand the website's complex structure.

Code Review

This pull request simplifies the documentation contribution guidelines by directing contributors to update only the README.md file, with maintainers handling website updates. This is a good change to lower the barrier for contributions. I've left one comment with a suggestion to improve the clarity of the new instructions and avoid redundancy with another section in the CONTRIBUTING.md file.

🧹 Nitpick comments (1)
CONTRIBUTING.md (1)

98-99: Consider moving the contributor responsibility statement to the "Pull Requests" section for clearer organization.

The new content at lines 98–99 clarifies the contribution workflow well and aligns with the PR objectives. However, placing it at the end of the "Website Development" section (which focuses on local setup) is somewhat indirect. Since this is a contributor responsibility statement, it would be more discoverable and logically grouped in the "Pull Requests" section (lines 17–23) alongside other requirements.

Additionally, line 78 in the "Documentation" section already directs contributors to update README.md, so consider consolidating the two statements to avoid redundancy.

🔎 Suggested reorganization

Move lines 98–99 to the "Pull Requests" section and consolidate with the existing documentation guidance:

## Pull Requests

Before submitting a Pull Request, please ensure:

1. Your code passes all tests: Run `npm run test`
2. Your code adheres to our linting standards: Run `npm run lint`
-3. You have updated relevant documentation (especially README.md) if you've added or changed functionality.
+3. You have updated README.md if you've added or changed functionality. Website documentation updates will be handled by maintainers.

Then remove lines 98–99 from the "Website Development" section.

Code Review - PR #1064

Summary: This PR simplifies the documentation contribution guidelines by directing contributors to update only README.md, with maintainers handling website documentation updates.

What looks good

  1. Clear intent: The change appropriately lowers the barrier to contribution
  2. Follows conventions: Commit message follows Conventional Commits (docs(contributing):)
  3. Minimal change: Only 2 lines changed, keeping the PR focused
  4. Checklist completed: Tests and lint verified per the PR template

Review Feedback

Minor observation about section redundancy

The CONTRIBUTING.md file now has two mentions of updating README.md:

  • Line 23: You have updated relevant documentation (especially README.md)
  • Lines 98-99: contributors only need to update the README.md file

This is not a blocker, but you may want to consider whether the (especially README.md) phrasing in line 23 should be updated to say You have updated the README.md if you have added or changed functionality to be more direct and consistent with the new guidance.

Premortem Analysis

Scenario Risk Mitigation
Contributors may still update website docs Low The new wording is clear
Website docs may lag behind README Low Maintainer workflow handles this
Contributors confused about which README Very Low Context makes it clear

Verdict

LGTM - This is a straightforward documentation improvement that reduces contributor friction. No code changes, no security concerns, no test coverage needed.
