From ea44fdce876e3039d79f47551bc6c3c096987821 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli Date: Mon, 11 Nov 2024 22:07:47 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] website: move contrib.md in history, rename git.md to contribute.md. The page name aren't directly meaningful. In contrib.md for instance I would expect to find how to contribute. In git.md instead I would expect to find how to download GNU Boot but not how to contribute. Since the authors page isn't meaningful anymore for GNU Boot as it has different priorities than Libreboot at the time where it was fully free, and also because GNU Boot also wants to put forward smaller contributions, especially contributions that aren't recorded in git. As the GNU Boot project doesn't have the same community or dynamics than the Libreboot project had, the gaps it has are different. So we also try to put forward contributions that fills these gaps. However since this page is very important historically, so we need to keep it not to forget about it. So to fix that we added GNU Boot's point of view and moved it in the history section.
