- Beginners can contribute to README files, workflows, or documentation.
- PRs for README, workflow, or documentation will be evaluated and potentially upgraded based on completeness.
- Do not create multiple document change issues. Inform the contributor who worked on the documentation for future updates.
- Follow a first-come, first-served approach for issues.
- Participate in only one role: PA, lead, or Contributor.

l2orl3points. - Instant PR Acceptance: PRs accepted instantly without proper review.
- Multiple documentation or workflow issues.
- Exploiting personal connections with PAs or leads.
- Repeated documentation or workflow contributions.
- Code snippets or template-related PRs.
- If you create multiple issues on documentation or workflow, your PRs won’t be considered.

- If you completely depend on documentation or workflow or GitHub bots, only the first 150 points will be considered. Focus on a variety of contributions.
- Contributors, you are free to create any number of PRs in any repos, excluding a few repos listed below. Sticking to a particular repo will help you gain strong knowledge of the project and the tech stack. However, if we notice you spamming PRs or issues, severe action will be taken.
Note: We request everyone to follow the above guidelines. We aim to make open source accessible to everyone, including beginners. If you follow the instructions, it will help us bring more perks to you. Otherwise, it may push us to verify your PRs more thoroughly.
