Kenneth Knowles updated BEAM-13780:
-----------------------------------
Status: Open (was: Triage Needed)
> Add a Contributing.md
> ---------------------
>
> Key: BEAM-13780
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-13780
> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: beam-community
> Reporter: Danny McCormick
> Assignee: Danny McCormick
> Priority: P3
> Original Estimate: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 10m
>
> Right now, the repo doesn't have a Contributing.md, it just links to the
> contributing docs in the Readme (and its kinda buried) - I think it would be
> helpful to add that (probably just linking to the contribution guide). This
> would:
> 1) Help new contributors find the guide more quickly (extra helpful for
> people who don't necessarily need to read through the beam model, e.g. users,
> and people who are actively making their first contributions and want to
> reference it quickly)
> 2) Use GitHub's built in support to link the contribution guide when users
> open their first pr.
> 3) If we switch to issues, point to the contribution guide when/before users
> create their first issue as well.
>
> Basically, its a low cost way to make getting started docs a little more
> discoverable. FWIW, it looks like there was at least some support for this
> here - [https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/10366#issuecomment-573992574]
