Thanks for adding this @AaineeSinha, the setup looks good and is exactly what we needed to get started.

Before merge, could you tweak a couple things in the same PR?

• CHANGELOG.md, keep the structure, but add a short note that we’re still pre-release and versioned entries will come later (you can backfill old PRs in a short list if you want but not mandatory for this PR).
• README.md, link to CHANGELOG.md in the docs section.
• CONTRIBUTING.md, one line that the changelog exists; we’ll ask for [Unreleased] updates once we start doing releases.

That’s it, thanks again, and welcome to Rooms <3

Thanks for the warm welcome, @rosspeili! I've gone ahead and addressed all your feedback: I added the pre-release note to CHANGELOG.md, linked the changelog in the README.md documentation library, and updated the PR instructions in CONTRIBUTING.md. Let me know if everything looks good on your end now!

Thanks for the quick follow-up @AaineeSinha, README and CONTRIBUTING look good, and the pre-release note is what we wanted.

One small fix: CHANGELOG.md has escaped markdown (\#, \##, etc.) so headings won’t render on GitHub. Could you remove those backslashes and keep the pre-release note? The link formatting from your first commit was fine if you want to bring that back too.

Once that’s in, good to merge from my side. Thanks again!

I've updated the branch and removed the escaping backslashes from the markdown headers so everything should render correctly now.
