Add a Developer Guide to the Wiki

chriseverty commented 8 years ago

Hi,

would you add a Developer Guide section in the Wiki? As there is a Extension System on the horizon (see #71 ) that would be handy.

Content that would be useful

Coding conventions & Styleguide - maybe supported by Checkstyle
preferred IDE
getting started with developement
- clone and IDE setup - had no trouble there :wink:
- how the development process is intend - e.g. I found the JettyIDELauncher which appears to be intended for faster development cycles, but I suppose there is more to be found ... ?
- how to submit pull requests - if there is something special to know
- how to test - I have not seen a public CI connected to the project, although travis-ci and CloudBees (Jenkins) offer free plans for open source. Probably you have something on your own somewhere? Otherwise I would be willing to help

Thank you and keep up the good work

P.S. I feel somewhat odd to file this as issue, usually I would post this in a mailing list or something like this. But I have not found any other channel to get in touch with you.

Thank you for the interest for contributing and the hints for the ecosystem required for doing that! I'll try to invest time into that. Looking forward for further cooperation.

Probably it would be easier to flag existing issues here on github, i.e. with a flag like "help wanted" or "entry level". I have problems to dive into the system without a focus on what to solve. Are there any low hanging fruits that one could have a look at?
