There's currently two repo's here and near zero guidance on where/how to contribute. The semver/semver.org repo does have some guidance for adding translations, but semver/semver has nothing at all. It would be good if the maintainers could provide sufficient guidance in both repo's pertaining to their purpose, where and how to contribute. Should would-be contributors first start an issue describing proposed changes or just go straight for a PR with a well written description/justification?

There should be some statements regarding near, medium and long term goals for the standard. Is there a planned pace for 2.0.x changes? What about 2.x.x? Is it preferable to never release a 3.x.x version?

Good idea. I'll think about writing up something.

https://github.com/semver/semver/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md was merged, which is a large part of this. We should still add some small things before closing, though.
