Hey Ben, Looks good to me for the most part! I think that you should include a link to the Newcomers page [1] as a whole, even though it has some overlap with the quick start guide and you’ve included a link to the ‘Finding a Ticket’ subsection therein. I also think that a few more pointers on what is hoped for in a review (under ‘Reviewing Patches’) could be helpful for those looking to get involved! Code review styles and expectations can vary greatly, so some more info here would be good. Best, _ara [1] https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Newcomers

Hello everyone,

Today I sat down and wrote a CONTRIBUTORS.md document for the ghc repository. This is recommended by GitHub to ensure that contributors can easily discover the first steps to contributing to the project. Moreover, it provided a nice blank slate to summarize the existing contributor documentation.

It would be greatly appreciated if you could give it [1] a read-through and leave your feedback.

Cheers,

- Ben
