# Objective
CONTRIBUTING.md contains links to pages that are restricted to Bevy Engine Org members.
First time contributors who read CONTRIBUTING.md will end up on a confusing 404 page if they try to follow the link.
Relevant discussion: #4365
## Solution
Replace links with directions to the Triage Team page.
### Note
I'm not sure if `assign themselves as a member` is accurate. I think that is what `automatically request membership` was referring to, but i can't check for myself 😉

[**RENDERED**](https://github.com/alice-i-cecile/bevy/blob/better-contributing/CONTRIBUTING.md)
Improves #910. As discussed in #1309, we'll need to synchronize content between this and the Bevy website in some way (and clean up the .github file perhaps?).
I think doing it as a root-directory file is nicer for discovery, but that's a conversation I'm interested in having.
This document is intended to be helpful to beginners to open source and Bevy, and captures what I've learned about our informal practices and values.
Reviewers: I'm particularly interested in:
- opinions on the items **What we're trying to build**, where I discuss some of the project's high-level values and goals
- more relevant details on the `bevy` subcrates for **Getting oriented**
- useful tricks and best practices that I missed
- better guidance on how to contribute to the Bevy book from @cart <3
