Update the Contributors Guide #310

Open flpm opened 5 days ago

flpm commented 5 days ago

The contributors guide (CONTRIBUTING.md) needs a refresh to include more details to help less experienced contributors. This is a great first issue if you are new to open source.

How to help

  1. Look at the list below and choose a section to work on (the checkbox indicates if someone already started working on it).
  2. Add a comment to the issue, saying which section you are planning to work on. If you are working on a conference sprint, mention it!)
  3. You can find more details about the contents of each section in the guide itself (look for *__TODO__: labels)
  4. Once you are done, submit a pull request!

Sections should be short (one or two paragraphs) and you should assume the reader is not very familiar with the open source development process. Feel free to include code blocks and images as necessary!

Sections that need work

In the section Forking the repository:

In the section Contributing via the GitHub website:
