It would be nice to come up with a document addressing some FAQ for people who are curious about contributing but aren't too sure how to go about it. Here are some questions it could address, in no particular order -
How do I identify a package that is open to contributions?
How do I clone a repo and submit a PR?
I'm sure we'll have enough language for this from documentation for the event.
Should I ask before creating a PR?
Etiquette after making a PR
Tone
Requesting a review from a specific person - yes or no?
Expected response times
Coding style
Feel free to add to this list, I will add more too.
This is a great resource - it would be great to borrow from this for an R-specific document.
We can also put a survey (on like, Twitter or Slack) out beforehand asking people what questions they have / had when they started out.
