if we want to maintain name in one place so i recommned to remove the contributiors.md beacauseThe index.rst page already documents this well, and it’s an important part of the documentation structure—as shown in the screenshot above
and for image can i make a file docs/static store the image there this would ensure the images stay in the repository and avoid broken links in the future. what do you think about this and I’ve also revised the CONTRIBUTING.md to be clearer, more aligned with the existing style, and better integrated with the current guidance
@MoralCode
is this good update the contributing.md in index.rst for the images I used — can I just upload them in this issue and reference the URLs? I think creating a new folder only for images isn’t necessary. What do you think?
