 ## Contributing
 
-* Fork the project.
-* Run `bundle`
-* Run `bundle exec rake`
-* Make your feature addition or bug fix.
-* Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
-* Run `bundle exec rake` (No, REALLY :))
-* Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself in another branch so I can ignore when I pull)
-* Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
