Hi there! I'd like to add a line to this page about the Elastic Contributor Program.

Page content, with bolded edit below:

Contributing to Beats:

If you have a bugfix or new feature that you would like to contribute, please start by opening a topic on the forums. It may be that somebody is already working on it, or that there are particular issues that you should know about before implementing the change.

We enjoy working with contributors to get their code accepted. There are many approaches to fixing a problem and it is important to find the best approach before writing too much code. After committing your code, check out the Elastic Contributor Program where you can earn points and rewards for your contributions.

The process for contributing to any of the Elastic repositories is similar.
