 - Don't forget your unit tests
 - All algorithms need documentation, don't forget the .rst file
 - Don't take changes requests to change your code personally

-# Contribute to the project
-
-Contributions and issues are most welcome! All issues and pull requests are
-handled through [GitHub](https://github.com/bluesky/event-model/issues). Also, please check for any existing issues before
-filing a new one. If you have a great idea but it involves big changes, please
-file a ticket before making a pull request! We want to make sure you don't spend
-your time coding something that might not fit the scope of the project.
-
-## Issue or Discussion?
-
-Github also offers [discussions](https://github.com/bluesky/event-model/discussions) as a place to ask questions and share ideas. If
-your issue is open ended and it is not obvious when it can be "closed", please
-raise it as a discussion instead.
-
-## Code Coverage
-
-While 100% code coverage does not make a library bug-free, it significantly
-reduces the number of easily caught bugs! Please make sure coverage remains the
-same or is improved by a pull request!
-
-## Developer Information
-
-It is recommended that developers use a [vscode devcontainer](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/devcontainers/containers). This repository contains configuration to set up a containerized development environment that suits its own needs.
-
-This project was created using the [Diamond Light Source Copier Template](https://github.com/DiamondLightSource/python-copier-template) for Python projects.
-
-For more information on common tasks like setting up a developer environment, running the tests, and setting a pre-commit hook, see the template's [How-to guides](https://diamondlightsource.github.io/python-copier-template/2.3.0/how-to.html).
