Make project interaction easy

[wobbol]

There needs to be a clear separation between what users and collaborators are expected to do.

• Collaborators
  • must know how to use git. Even if all they can do is git clone <repo> I am willing to work with that.
  • having C knowledge is great, but not mandatory.
• Users
  • must read before posting issues.
  • have an understanding about what type of place github is.

Things that should be provided to

• Collaborators.
  • Having an example git workflow available to refer to when addressing how to submit changes.
  • This eases anyones ignorance about how to use git in the shell.
• Users.
  • Courtesy --- while it is nice when a user reads through our documentation, it is hard to expect that as a baseline for all users.
  • A graphical way to edit their stuff, allow them to be insulated from the terminal interface. I believe, this is a hard stop for many would be users.
  • The UX should exceed their expectations in ease-of-use, easy feedback button, and script-ability of their keyboard.

if users cannot hackit, they need to be bold enough to ask for help.
