2019-10-20doc: Added instructions for how to add an upsteam to forked repodannmat

2018-06-17Docs: Improve readability of "Squashing commits"wodry
It was not easy to read the comment lines for me because I was not sure whether the sentence ended with the line or not ("pull set commits"?). Therefore, dots had been invented and I have added them to signal the end of a sentence. Also begin New sentence with a capital letter. I guess, not all 'pick' words should be replaced by 'squash'? At least I found [https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-rebase-and-update-a-pull-request](this) rebase/squash documentation helpful, where is written that the first line should not be changed.

2017-11-07Docs: Change formatting for sequence of stepsVivek Ganesan
A numbered list is used when the sequence of steps matters. A bulleted list is used to denote a set of items where the sequence does not matter. The workflow is a sequence and hence changed to a numbered list.

1. "If a pull request is not to be considered for merging (yet), please prefix the ..." 2. If a particular commit references another issue, please add the reference. For example: `refs #1234` or `fixes #4321`.

English grammar dictates that these bullet points should be capitalized. This also makes the capitalization style consistent with the rest of the document, e.g. the "Decision Making Process" section.

2016-10-13Add copyright/patent issues to possible NACK reasonsPeter Todd
Adding in response to a Slack discussion where someone was unclear on the fact that a NACK may be justified if code can't be accepted due to copyright/patent issues. For example, it would be reasonable and prudent to NACK a contribution of AGPL-licensed consensus code on the basis that the license terms are incompatible with the MIT license used by the rest of the codebase.

2016-06-23contributing.md: Fix formattingWill Binns
This commit contains two changes to CONTRIBUTING.md that: Fix line line lengths. There were several instances where line lengths were well over 80 characters. This commit adjusts them to make them conform to formatting best practices, to stay under 80 characters when possible. Adhere to consist use of quotes. There are a few instances where smart quotes are used (perhaps because it was pasted from a word processor). This commit replaces them with dumb quotes to keep it consistent with the quotation formatting found in the rest of the document.
