Rather than tailoring contribution guides to the repo they reside in, I decided to make one that was more general and could be simply copy+pasted into each repo where necessary. This can require less upkeep when changes are made (simply copy+paste across all repos rather than needing to comb through and copy+paste only specific sections that were updated). Tailored instructions will be added later, such as instructions for running TOP locally, lesson writing guide (TBA), etc.
