-first.

-### Creating new nodes
-
-The plugin nature of Node-RED means anyone can create a new node to extend
-its capabilities. 
-
-We want to avoid duplication as that can lead to confusion. Many of our existing
-nodes offer a starting point of functionality. If they are missing features,
-we would rather extend them than add separate 'advanced' versions. But the key
-to that approach is getting the UX right to not lose the simplicity.
-
-We are also going to be quite selective over what nodes are included in the main
-repository - enough to be useful, but not so many that new user is overwhelmed.
-
-To contribute a new node, please raise a pull-request against the 
-`node-red-nodes` repository.
-
-Eventually, the nodes will be npm-installable, but we're not there yet. We'll
-also have some sort of registry of nodes to help with discoverability.
-
-### Pull-Requests
-
-In order for us to accept pull-requests, the contributor must first complete
-a Contributor License Agreement (CLA). This clarifies the intellectual 
-property license granted with any contribution. It is for your protection as a 
-Contributor as well as the protection of IBM and its customers; it does not 
-change your rights to use your own Contributions for any other purpose.
-
-Once you have created a pull-request, we'll provide a link to the appropriate
-CLA document.
-
-If you are an IBMer, please contact us directly as the contribution process is
-slightly different.
