Developer Guide is missing #5422

Open MarcSkovMadsen opened 2 years ago

MarcSkovMadsen commented 2 years ago

Request

Add a developer guide.

Motivation

There is no developer guide making it very hard for potential contributors.

I for one would like to try out contributing to HoloViews.

Workaround

For now inspiration can be found in the hvPlot developer guide. That guide does not work for my though. Thus I created a PR here to fix it https://github.com/holoviz/hvplot/pull/887. If you can review and approve it, please do. It wont take long.

A readable version is here https://github.com/holoviz/hvplot/blob/33d1fa9f1a6570de13843102d662464acb73c2b8/doc/developer_guide/index.rst

You can use it if you replace hvplot by holoviews.

I can see that flake8 does not get installed when I follow the above. I see

$ doit test_flakes
.  test_flakes
/bin/sh: 1: flake8: not found
TaskError - taskid:test_flakes
Command error: 'flake8 "holoviews"' returned 127
