This could limit the overall impact of the changes and may not significantly improve the user experience.

  2. Missing Context in Commit Messages: Some patches lack detailed commit messages that explain the rationale behind the changes made. Providing clear and informative commit messages is essential for understanding the purpose of each modification within the contribute guide.

  3. Formatting Inconsistencies and Errors: Various patches highlight issues like incorrect formatting, typos, and inconsistent language usage in the contribute guide. Ensuring consistent formatting, language usage, and correcting errors are crucial for maintaining professionalism and clarity in documentation.

Commit f4b0442e38ec73b5d3e28319b68abdceb4656547

Key Changes

  1. Renamed the document from "Contributing Steps" to "Contributing Guide."
  2. Expanded the content of the document to include ways to contribute, find an issue, ask for help, pull request lifecycle, and more detailed instructions.
  3. Added a "Development Environment Setup" section.
  4. Included additional information on contributing to the project, such as ways to contribute, asking for help, finding an issue, and attending meetings.

Potential Problems

  1. Document Structure: The restructuring of the document and the addition of new sections could potentially disrupt the flow and organization of the existing content. Review the document's flow to ensure that it remains logical and coherent.

  2. Contributing Steps to Guide: Renaming the section from "Contributing Steps" to "Contributing Guide" could cause confusion if users are familiar with the previous terminology. Consider providing a brief explanation or transition for users who were accustomed to the previous terminology.

  3. Added Content: Review the new content thoroughly to ensure accuracy, completeness, and relevance to the project's guidelines. Verify that all information provided aligns with the project's processes and goals.

  4. Links and References: Check all links and references included in the document to ensure they are correct and functional. Broken links or incorrect references could hinder users' ability to access important resources.

  5. Consistency: Ensure consistency in terminology, formatting, and style throughout the document. Inconsistent language or presentation can make the guide less user-friendly and professional.

As a reviewer, it's crucial to assess the impact of these changes on the document's usability, accuracy, and clarity to ensure that the updated contribute guide serves its purpose effectively.

Commit 6d4d6ff4721b50439f1d933575d85783b86b7e64

Key Changes:

  1. Replaced "our project" with "the project" for clarity.
  2. Updated the Mailing list link to include the "mailto" attribute for direct email.
  3. Corrected a grammatical error by removing the line "\ No newline at end of file."
  4. Minor formatting adjustments.

Potential Problems:

  1. The patch does not address any substantial content changes or enhancements to the contribute guide. It mainly focuses on wording and link corrections.
  2. While the changes are beneficial for clarity and correctness, they are relatively minor in nature and may not significantly impact the user experience or understanding.
  3. The patch lacks detailed commit messages that explain the reasoning behind the changes, making it harder to understand the context of the modifications.

Recommendation: Given that the changes are minor and mostly related to language enhancements, the patch seems appropriate. However, considering the lack of substantial content changes, it would be beneficial to ensure that future Pull Requests include more significant updates to improve the contribution guide further. Additionally, it would be helpful for the author to provide more detailed commit messages to aid in understanding the purpose of each change.

Commit 00c636224bab36d53b85fcdea98c230b57c0b132

Key Changes:

Potential Problems:

  1. Incorrect Formatting: The email address in the update Mailing list section seems to be missing the mailto: prefix. It should be mailto:WasmEdge@googlegroups.com to function correctly as a mailto link.

  2. Lack of Details: The commit message and patch are brief, making it hard to determine the reason for the change. Providing more context in the commit message would improve the clarity and understanding of the change.

  3. Consistency: The markdown formatting in this file should be consistent throughout. Make sure headings, formatting, and links are consistent and follow the project's style guide for documentation.

  4. Error in Documentation: The documentation may have been misleading or incorrect before the change, leading to the update. It's crucial to ensure the accuracy of the information provided in the documentation to avoid confusion for contributors.

Overall, the main focus should be on fixing the email link format and providing more context for the changes to ensure clarity and consistency in the contribute guide.

Commit ecbfa75e2308b992243c21e91dee3dd8919e6fa7

Key Changes:

  2. Updated instructions on how to communicate interest in contributing and seeking help.
  3. Fixed a typo in the sentence regarding marking a PR as a draft and correcting feedback timelines.

Potential Problems:

  1. The patch contains several typographical errors, such as "commnet" (should be "comment") and "miantainer" (should be "maintainer"). These should be corrected for clarity and professionalism.
  2. Inconsistent language usage, such as mixing "days" and "work days" within the same context. It may lead to confusion and should be standardized for better comprehension.
  3. The guidance on enabling maintainers to edit a PR if the contributor doesn't want to maintain it is mentioned but lacks specific instructions on how to proceed with enabling this action.
  4. The patch introduces updated links for the mailing list and Discord server. It is essential to verify that these new links are correct and accessible to users.

These are the main findings based on the patch provided. It would be beneficial to address these issues before merging the changes to ensure clarity and correctness in the contribute guide.

Commit 22faea7e1a768c970fffc331eed6b430f0c75330

Key Changes:

  1. Fixed a typo in the URL for the "help wanted" label in the contribute guide.

Potential Problems:

  1. It seems that the typo in the URL was the only intended change in this patch. The patch doesn't include any other updates or improvements related to the contribution guide. It would be beneficial to have more substantial changes to the guide along with fixing the mentioned issue.
  2. The description doesn't provide details about the reason for updating the contribute guide or any context for the changes made. Providing a clear and concise commit message helps reviewers understand the purpose of the changes and ensures transparency in the contribution process. It would be beneficial to include more context in the commit message.

Commit d27c85cd621939b476d44a1e43f20af0cbca0276

Key Changes:

Potential Problems:

  1. Corrected Link Format: The corrected link format for contacting the team is now in a proper URL format. This ensures that users clicking on the link will be directed to the correct destination.
  2. Email Contact: While changing the link to a Google Groups page is a good update, some contributors might prefer or expect an email contact option. Depending on the project's communication preferences, this change may need further discussion or clarification.

In this patch, the most important finding is the correction of the contact link to a valid URL format. Ensure that the team is aligned with the decision to replace the direct email contact with a link to the Google Groups page and that this change aligns with the project's communication strategy.
