In other words to become a contributor, you have to select your name from the readymade list of contributors? Anyone see the slight problem with this?! 

It might be helpful to people you know ARENT contributors to begin with, to have a contact to send their 1st submissions or other means of getting started.

Its a little strange how you neglect ANYWHERE on this site to mention as how someone ACTUALLY  becomes a contributor and sends in 1st submissions. Theres just a link to a general queries email and thats it.

Are you actively trying to discourage new members and input? Because thats the impression this website gives. At least to me...

Quick Markdown Guide

By default, new comments may be entered as Markdown, simple markup syntax designed to be readable and not look like markup. Comments stored as Markdown will be converted to HTML by Parsedown before displaying them. This follows the Github Flavored Markdown Spec with support for Markdown Extra. For a good overview of Markdown in general, check out the Markdown Guide. Here is a quick comparison of some commonly used Markdown with the rendered result:

Top level header: <H1>

Block quote

Second paragraph in block quote

First Paragraph of response. Italics, bold, and bold italics.

Second Paragraph after blank line. Here is some HTML code mixed in with the Markdown, and here is the same <U>HTML code</U> enclosed by backticks.

Secondary Header: <H2>

  • Unordered list item
  • Second unordered list item
  • New unordered list
    • Nested list item

Third Level header <H3>

  3. A third ordered list item.
