Contributing should be a beautiful page with a N-step guide to contributing
Contributing to GitLab is a big priority. Right now, the threshold to start is very high.
We can make https://about.gitlab.com/contributing/ a beautiful page with a n-step guide to contributing. I'm thinking (in semi-logical order):
- Install the GitLab dev kit (with explanation what it is and links to the docs)
- Find an issue
up-for-grabs
oraccepting merge requests
- Read the contribution guide
- Create a MR and make sure your tests pass
- Resources to learn ruby / rails / js.
- Examples of great community contributions + MVP + you get an interview if you'd like
