Contributing to CIME #2096

Closed jedwards4b closed 6 years ago

jedwards4b commented 6 years ago

With the release of cesm and e3sm coming soon we may expect to get many new contributors to CIME. The Unidata metpy github page has a very nice document on how to contribute to that project https://github.com/Unidata/MetPy/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md we may want to consider something similar. In particular the Contributor License Agreement (CLA) is interesting and has already been vetted by NCAR/UCAR legal.

I recently found that github has an open-source standards checklist: https://github.com/ESMCI/cime/community So yes lets add CONTRIBUTING and also "code of conduct".

rljacob commented 6 years ago

github has 2 CODE_OF_CONDUCT templates derived from: https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/1/4/code-of-conduct.html and http://citizencodeofconduct.org/

They don't have CONTRIBUTING templates but do point to some examples: Atom: https://github.com/atom/atom/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md Ruby on Rails: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md OpenGovernment: https://github.com/opengovernment/opengovernment/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

I thought that the one I pointed you to was pretty good - do you see a problem with it?

rljacob commented 6 years ago

No. I was just noting the ones Github pointed to.
