Nicola Crane updated ARROW-14218:
---------------------------------
Description:
* 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
* Mac - you can't just install openssl, you need to add it to your path as
LibreSSL is the default - we should add instructions about this
* Better demarcation between "special instructions for Linux" and the next
section
