Hi All, The OE TSC has been aware of the feedback around our contributions process and the state of our docs on the subject, with many different wiki pages, some of which disagree with each other.
It isn't something a newcomer to the project can untangle, it needed people with authority and in some ways "bravery" to do something radical to improve the situation. After discussion, the OE TSC has decided to do just that. Along with the YP TSC, we agreed to take the various "contributions" wiki pages and docs and pull them together into a new "Contributors Guide" manual as part of the rest of "our" docs bookshelf. Rather than discuss this, we've done it, it is here: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev/contributor-guide/index.html This is the work of a number of us and we did pull in help from Michael Opdenacker to help us make this happen, thanks to all involved! We've gone and made a number of wiki pages point at this where we believe the content was migrated, duplicated or obsolete. I've also just sent out patches to some of the core repository README files to update those to match. We've tried to add sections to the docs to cover things which we could assume 10 years ago but which are perhaps not common knowledge to a newcomer now. We're aware this won't be perfect and there may be areas that need improvement or maybe where people disagree. As ever, the docs are a living entity and evolve over time so patches welcome, as ever. This effort by the TSCs was mainly to get us over the hump of starting something, having a fairly ruthless cleanup of the wiki and giving us a basic canvas to work on together. If anyone has new people working on the project, please test them out on the new guide, we'd love to know what is clear, what isn't and if there is anything we should improve. Also, if anyone spots wiki docs or other information that should be in the manual, please let us know too. Cheers, Richard (channelling both TSCs)
