I believe you wanted to reply to all (which I do).

I agree. In general, I believe that our contribution guidelines are
broken. For coders in particular, heading to the developer section of
the website has a light introduction to vala, but says nothing on how
to actually contribute to elementary (i.e., what is current
target/milestone, how to pick goals to tackle, how to assign
blueprint/bug to you or notify developers that you started working on
something etc.).

So a question is, do we have such a text somewhere internally (which
we need only to polish and get online) or do we have to write it from
scratch?
