> @jaikiran in https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/12871#issuecomment-1612310113 pointed me to a resource I had not previously found. https://openjdk.org/contribute is fine at a high level but still says things like

> which clearly predates Skara, and does not apparently link to anything more current. Whereas this https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/master/doc/building.md is thorough and discoverable, finding accurate guidelines for proposing pull requests was tough.

Jesse Glick has updated the pull request with a new target base due to a merge or a rebase. The incremental webrev excludes the unrelated changes brought in by the merge/rebase. The pull request contains four additional commits since the last revision:

 - Making `building.md` also link only to the guide
 - Linking only to the guide, as suggested by @JesperIRL: https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/14716#issuecomment-1670908305
 - Merge branch 'master' of https://github.com/openjdk/jdk into patch-1
 - 8312882: Update the CONTRIBUTING.md with pointers to lifecycle of a PR
