I'd favour "Participate" over any variant of "Contribute", as without context, "Contribute" makes me think of financial support in the crowdfunding/tip jar sense.
"Participate" may mean two different things.
* Here's the development home, with a repo and issue tracker, contributions welcome!
* Here's the mailing list or other forum where we discuss the future of Guido's Magical Mystery Time Machine.
Perhaps this points to labelling URLs with nouns rather than verbs: things like 'mailing list', 'source code' or 'issue tracker' seem less ambiguous than 'participate' or 'contribute'.
I agree with Thomas on this one. Seeing a link that says "Participate" just feels like it's missing an exclamation point and subtext saying I could earn $2,000/week from it. ;) Since this has turned into bikeshedding over names when we have a general metadata solution, I've filed https://github.com/takluyver/flit/issues/116 and consider my question answered. :)
