John Chilton 82fe547a93 First crack at a CONTRIBUTING file for galaxy-central.
Ideally this would come in through a pull request but I am trying to rush through documentation related to Galaxy development ahead of a GSOC application - by all means I would encourage comments related to this commit as well as well as direct modifications.

CONTRIBUTING files are meant to encourge developers to contribute to open source projects by spelling out how to contribute and what is expected from contributions. More resources related to CONTRIBUTION files include:

 - http://contribute.md/
 - https://github.com/blog/1184-contributing-guidelines

This isn't coming at the expense of wiki documentation - I have already made dozens of enhancements to the Develop section of the wiki today and I am planning a huge walkthrough of how to contribute and learn about various aspect of the broader Galaxy community from a new developer perspective. Having this file in place though I feel is an important part of that however.
