Contributing guide needs several updates #285
Description
The Contributing Guide needs an overhaul. I am creating a list of suggestions here for ways to improve it:
- Review of contributor roles
- In Github labels and keywords that block PRs, should DNM be added to the table under PR description contains?
Use Static Checks for Validation has a link to a script from a 1.x-eol branchseems to have been updated, but consider updating image example of failed CI test- Configure your environment should include info about rust now
- In either this guide or a new getting started guide (see Create a Getting Started Guide for developers #260 ), consider adding a link for advice on how to resolve merge conflicts when rebasing (example)
- The section on porting is huge, we could consider a separate document
- In continuous integration, it would be helpful to have a link listing /test-* shortcuts for maintainers
