-## Contribution Guidelines
-
-* Make sure your text editor is set to remove tab characters and replaces them with spaces.
-* We use K&R indentation, camelCase variable names and globals are not uppercase, but don't worry, we can fix up any PRs for you
-* The main Javascript file is src/cbPyLib/cellbrowser/cbWeb/js/cellbrowser.js
-* The main Python code is src/cbPyLib/cellbrowser/cellbrowser.py
+Then run 'cbUpgrade --dev --code' to package all the css/js files together into the htdocs directory.
+Either set this directory with -o to cbUpgrade, via the CBOUT variable or in the ~/.cellbrowser file
+with the configuration statement 'htmlDir', e.g. 'htmlDir=/var/www/' or 'htmlDir=~/public_html/cells'.
