-### New nodes
-
-The plugin nature of Node-RED means anyone can create a new node to extend
-its capabilities.
-
-We want to avoid duplication as that can lead to confusion. Many of our existing
-nodes offer a starting point of functionality. If they are missing features,
-we would rather extend them than add separate 'advanced' versions. But the key
-to that approach is getting the UX right to not lose the simplicity.
-
-To contribute a new node, please raise a pull-request against the 
-`node-red-nodes` repository.
-
-Eventually, the nodes will be npm-installable, but we're not there yet. We'll
-also have some sort of registry of nodes to help with discoverability.

- - indent with 4-spaces, no tabs. No arguments.
- - opening brace on same line as `if`/`for`/`function`/etc, closing brace on its
