DOC: Link to dev version of contributing guide from README.md

[jamesmyatt]

README.md should link to the development version of the contributing guide, since the stable version may not match current practice for master. For example, see #24069 .

I'm not sure this PR is a good idea, but I thought it was easiest open it and get comments directly.

this would be fine. @jorisvandenbossche @TomAugspurger

[TomAugspurger]

Yeah, that's probably best. That link does occasionally break if a build fails, but not too often.

There are 3 other places in the repo that could be changed too:

• .github/CONTRIBUTING.md line 6 and line 22
• doc/README.rst line 1
• doc/source/overview.rst line 95

My inclination is to change the first, but leave the others alone so that internal references in docs are maintained. What do you think?

[jamesmyatt]

I'm also concerned about duplication between .github/CONTRIBUTING.md (which I've only just found) and the contributing section of README.md.

[jorisvandenbossche]

My inclination is to change the first,

I think you can change the first two (and the third could actually use sphinx syntax to make a link, so it always links to the same version)

[datapythonista]

@jorisvandenbossche are you ok with this now?

[TomAugspurger]

I think changing the link in overview.rst to be a Sphinx ref makes sense.

[jreback]

thanks @jamesmyatt

[TomAugspurger]

@jamesmyatt would you be interested in making another PR to update that last link in contributing.rst?
