-# CONTRIBUTION PROCESS
-To contribute to this repository, please create a branch on your local 
-clone, push that branch to the repository, and create a Pull Request (PR)
-for that branch. No commits can be directly added onto `master` - all 
-must come via a Pull Request.
-
-### Reviewers
-All PRs must be approved by at least 2 reviewers before they can be merged.
-Any team members can act as reviewers, but it is suggested that in general
-each PR should have one reviewer from the 'software development' angle, and
-one reviewer from the 'data science' angle. All team members (dependent on 
-their notifications settings) will be notified of new PRs, and are encouraged
-to provide additional review comments whenever they can.
-
-### Work items
-Please link each PR to a work item from the current sprint. If no work items
-are linked, the PR cannot be merged - a new work item should be raised in 
-order to facilitate capturing the work being done.
-
-If you reference a work item by id in a commit message - e.g. #12345 
-Fixed issue where data was eaten by a grue - DevOps will auto link the item 
-to the commit, and therefore the PR.
-
-Otherwise you can manually link items at the point of PR creation, or 
-afterwards, if necessary.
-
-### Formatting
-Please adhere to PEP8 (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/), the 
-Python Style Guide. In particular, please
-
-1) Indent with 4 spaces (not tabs).
-1) Place 2 blank lines between top-level function and class definitions.
-1) Place 1 blank line around method definitions within a class.
-1) Place import statements at the top of the file, after any module comments
-and docstrings.
-1) Include a docstring for each function unless the function is extremely 
-trivial - if in doubt, err on the side of more documentation. See 
-https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0257/ for full guidance on writing docstrings.
-Note the use of triple-double quotes (""") to start and end docstrings.  
-
-### Testing
-All PRs should also contain tests that test the functionality within 
-the PR. 
-
-### Continuous integration
-In the near future, Continuous Integration tests will run on each PR, to 
-ensure that all tests pass before the PR can be merged into `master`. 
-More details will be available when this is in place.
