let md = `# Computer Readable Legislation Project

Most of the legislation are already available online or in a computer readable format. However the format is not always the same and it is not always easy to find the data. This project aims to provide a central repository of all the legislation in different computer readable format.

## How to contribute

If you want to contribute to this project, you can either:
- Propose new legislation to add to the list
- Help us build tool to extract existing legislation
- Help us review the already extracted legislation
