## Contributing
-Contributions to the vis.js library are very welcome! We can't do this alone.
-You can contribute in different ways: spread the word, report bugs, come up with
-ideas and suggestions, and contribute to the code.
-
-There are a few preferences regarding code contributions:
-
-- vis.js follows the node.js code style as described
- [here](http://nodeguide.com/style.html).
-- When implementing new features, please update the documentation accordingly.
-- Send pull requests to the `develop` branch, not the `master` branch.
-- Only commit changes done in the source files under `lib`, not to the builds
- which are located in the folder `dist`.
-
-Thanks!
