------------------------------------
Summary: [R] More improvements to developer docs
Key: ARROW-14218
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-14218
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: R
Reporter: Nicola Crane
Fix For: 7.0.0
* Add link to the main contributions guidelines
* Add a test of "how I know that my dev setup is OK?" to the end of the R-only
step
* The R-only instructions just have instructions on how to install libarrow but
we should add a little about how to connect it up with the repo clone; the
instructions mention it in the Linux version but could be more explicit
* When a user clones the repo via RStudio it creates an .rproj file in the root
directory - we should add an instructions to clone the arrow fork from the
command line so we can use the project's .rproj file
* We should consider removing the instruction for installing the released
version of libarrow (or demoting it to the second place and explain why we'd
use it) as typically a dev would want the dev version
