Noticed the link to the contributing markdown file (https://github.com/USEPA/TADA/blob/develop/CONTRIBUTING.md) is throwing a 404, when I submitted a PR it suggested the raw https://github.com/USEPA/TADA/blob/develop/docs/CONTRIBUTING.html, but I'm thinking route to the version in articles: https://usepa.github.io/TADA/articles/CONTRIBUTING.html

Something to consider for addition to contributing file is code style/linter. From tidyverse:

For tidyverse projects read the Style Guide and use the lintr package to find code which does not adhere to the style guide.

Right now lintr is catching mostly white space.
