Specify contributing guidelines? #2

I've not seen many external adapters in golang and I would like to contribute with many examples.

Maybe you should specify some guidelines on it.

That's very kind of you and I'll draft some CONTRIB guidelines in the next couple of days.

My initial thoughts were to keep this repo focused on being a template. Rather than being a container for a collection of go-based adapters.

I'm not a big fan of a large example external adapters as is done in the Chainlink repo: https://github.com/smartcontractkit/external-adapters-js/tree/develop/packages/sources

I'd rather keep this repo small and focused and the dependencies to a minimum.

However I do want to showcase other Go-based EAs by creating a section in the README.md that provides links and a description to other repos.

We do however welcome contributions. There's plenty of work to be done on the template, not least caching responses and rate limiting functionality.

I would love to know your thoughts.

Ok. Then I can make some examples and create a pull request to insert them into the template README.md, right?

Yes, absolutely. I've taken the liberty to kick off the list of Go-based adapters at the bottom of the README.md.
