Hey Bigtoppers,
With a little flurry of new activity to kick off 2016, think we can use this as push to gather notes and new docs on the process to look towards continual improvement of the process of new folks adding their perspective component. I will try to keep pulse of the latest activity and follow up with some people directly to see where we can pull out some tribal knowledge and include as part of new docs. I have created this jira for tracking: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-2284
