Recommended practices for development and support

Description

Include some recommended practices for development and support.

Tasks

Development:

  • Create a general "Contributing" page in the development section. Page created.
  • Under this new page, write best practices for contributing to software development, including:
    • Encouragement for people adopting tasks labelled as First Contribution.
    • Merge requests:
      • When planning to submit a huge feature or bug fix, please coordinate with the maintainer first, as this usually involves a lot of work for reviewing, testing and integration.
      • Please avoid big merge requests: they're hard to review etc.

Support:

  • Contact page improvements:
    • Under "Other contact":
      • Add that, as a general rule, please post questions in the Tor Forum instead of sending private messages to the developers, so others can contribute and benefit from the answers.
