2025-05-13Updated guidance to propose new feature ideas in contributing docs.Lily Foote

Thanks to Mads Jenson for review.
2019-09-06Fixed #30573 -- Rephrased documentation to avoid words that minimise the ↵Tobias Kunze
involved difficulty. This patch does not remove all occurrences of the words in question. Rather, I went through all of the occurrences of the words listed below, and judged if they a) suggested the reader had some kind of knowledge/experience, and b) if they added anything of value (including tone of voice, etc). I left most of the words alone. I looked at the following words: - simply/simple - easy/easier/easiest - obvious - just - merely - straightforward - ridiculous Thanks to Carlton Gibson for guidance on how to approach this issue, and to Tim Bell for providing the idea. But the enormous lion's share of thanks go to Adam Johnson for his patient and helpful review.
