[Plan for the Contributor’s Guide]¶
Important
This is part of aDraft of the Python Contributor’s Guide.Text in square brackets are notes about content to fill in.Currently, the devguide and this new Contributor’s Guide co-exist in therepo. We are using Sphinx include directives to demonstrate the re-organization.The final Contributor’s Guide will replace the devguide with content in only oneplace.We welcome help with this!
The[Plan for the Contributor’s Guide] page has more details about the current state of this draftandhow you can help. See more info about the Contributor Guide in thediscussion forum:Refactoring the DevGuide.
We are in the process of updating and refactoring the devguide to be aContributor’s Guide. It will highlight the different kinds of contributionpossible, and how to succeed at each kind.
Currently, the Contibutor’s Guide is a draft in this new last section of thedevguide. We welcome feedback, but please understand that some of the currentcontent is moving or skeletal.
Repo structure¶
While the reorganization is happening, we are keeping the old devguide as itis. The new Contributor’s Guide is represented in this last section, but willeventually be the only content in the guide. To avoid copying content, we’reusing Sphinx include directives to display existing devguide content in its newContributor’s Guide location. That is not how the eventual Guide will bebuilt. Once we are ready to make the Contributor’s Guide real, we willrearrange content into its new location.
