Howdy!

Just wanted to give a heads-up, I'm looking to have a PR with a CONTRIBUTIONS.md file ready for review in the near future. The general outline of the file looks like:

Part 1: Brief intro and link to handler development FAQ Part 2: Bugs / Issues / link to issues page (includes security issue note) Part 3: Developer Guide (how to fork, PR, branch guide, compiling, etc.) Part 3b: Code Style Guide (barebones for now; can be expanded or scrapped based on preferences) Part 4: Donations (points users to donations sidebar on the main page)

WIP Draft (has some notable gaps/assumptions in its current, rough state that I'm looking to patch up) CONTRIBUTIONS-draft.md

Comments and feedback are appreciated! Especially if there are gaps in guide content. I've attached a draft I've been working on as a starting point. It currently makes assumptions about code style, security issues, and the PR process/branching, and I'm reasonably sure most of these sections will need to be edited in some capacity. I'm also looking to add a brief/high-level compiling tutorial so it's more accessible for folks to fork and test their changes if they're attempting any code contributions.

I want to emphasize the draft I've attached is a starting point, heh. If it makes more sense, I could also potentially do a slimmer initial PR for the document that has less info if the project doesn't want to commit to specific policies just yet. I wanted to post this here, in case any others active in the project can think of anything else that I might be missing (or anything that I might want to change/remove/restructure).

Thanks!

Sorry for not answering here. Great work on the PR so far though 👍
