Contributor's guide for hyperSpec #112
Comments

Do we want to use this practice in our project? |
I'd prefer to use a more directly descriptive "tag" verb. Either something like |
I’m OK with any useful scheme, but like Claudia I do all my git work in the shell so shorter is better.

We have a solid CONTRIBUTING.md so can we close this issue? Obviously we can make changes in the future but the basic principles seem to be established. |

Why contributor's guide is a good idea?
How to contribute to the project? What git branches to use? How the code review is conducted? These are stumbling blocks for many developers.
Therefore it is paramount to have an established set of simple and logical, but strict rules that everybody has to follow. Their violation often leads to unpleasant surprises, misunderstanding, and can result in an unexpected urgent work for some of the team members to bring the project back on track. And this can be very bad.
This is why a we need a contributor's guide in a written form.
How to make one?
There is an article on GitHub that outlines the recommended approach - Setting guidelines for repository contributors
