I was reminded that one small but important/useful thing Jackson repos are still missing is a brief description of how to start contributing things to Jackson; typically added as `CONTRIBUTING.md` page. This could go under Jackson portal repo (https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson) and then linked to from other repos.
Portal has some of the information already, and I can try writing one myself if no one else feels like doing it -- but I think there are probably better wordsmiths around than me. I would be particularly interested in finding out things to add that I wouldn't think of (since I know the project too well, basically). Anyone interested in doing / helping this? I assume basic things would include: 1. Resources for contacting maintainers (google groups, gitter) 2. Something about branches 3. Need for CLA before first contribution (but maintainers will ask for one when necessary) 4. Importance of simple test(s) for covering change 5. Something about backwards compatibility but I am sure there are many other things to mention too... -+ Tatu +- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jackson-dev" group.
