Create a Community Contribution Guide

[trvswgnr]

Goal: Develop a comprehensive guide to encourage and assist new contributors

To foster a welcoming and productive environment for new contributors, we're looking to create a Community Contribution Guide for the Sloth Pipe project. This guide will provide clear instructions and best practices for contributing to the project, making it easier for newcomers to get involved.

Objective

• Outline the steps for contributing to the Sloth Pipe project, including setting up the development environment, making changes, and submitting pull requests.
• Include best practices and tips for successful contributions.
• Address common questions or concerns that new contributors might have.

Expected Benefits

• Easier Onboarding: A clear guide will make it easier for new contributors to start working on the project.
• Increased Contributions: By simplifying the contribution process, more people may be encouraged to contribute.
• Community Building: A contribution guide helps build a stronger, more inclusive community.

Potential Challenges

• Creating a guide that is comprehensive yet not overwhelming for new contributors.
• Ensuring the guide stays updated with any changes in the project's contribution process.

Additional Information

• Look at contribution guides from other open-source projects for inspiration.
• Collaborate with existing contributors to gather insights and best practices.

Acceptance Criteria

• The guide should be comprehensive, covering all aspects of the contribution process.
• It should be accessible and easy to understand for contributors with varying levels of experience.
• The guide should be added to the project's repository, either as a separate document or part of the README.

This task is perfect for someone who is new to the project and wants to contribute in a meaningful way. No extensive coding experience is required, just a willingness to help and engage with the community.
