Fix CONTRIBUTING.md describing contribution process
@simonharrer may I do this issue?
We expect a CONTRIBUTING.md similar to https://github.com/JabRef/help.jabref.org/blob/gh-pages/CONTRIBUTING.md. It should also contain screenshots of usage of the list. Meaning: Text of https://github.com/JabRef/help.jabref.org/blob/gh-pages/en/JournalAbbreviations.md has to appear here.
Following steps are too straight-forward:
- Get a GitHub account
- Add the file to https://github.com/JabRef/abbrv.jabref.org/tree/master/journals
- Add the file to https://github.com/JabRef/abbrv.jabref.org/blob/master/journals/README.md sorted in alphabetically.
- Create a pull request on this repository.
I nevertheless created a minimal CONTRIBUTING.md (https://github.com/JabRef/abbrv.jabref.org/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) to have a start.
I've got one question concerning non-ASCII characters (e.g. Zeitschrift für...).
When running an integrity check, Jabref complains about non-ASCII characters, but changing it (to f{\"{u}}r) generates the error: "Journal not found in abbreviation list".
Should we put two entries in the files? One with and one without non-ASCII characters?
Use the Umlauts (UTF8). Single entry.
Please file a feature request in the JabRef repo. We should be UTF8 first. When using in BibTeX, JabRef should "magically" convert the characters.
I did not add screenshots, but quite some more details to the CONTRIBUTING.md in #67
Update: The encoding is still not there.
