Lately we’ve been pulling together a short document to describe how the Stone Soup project operates. The aim of this is to enable people interested in contributing to quickly learn how they can. It’s also about writing it down for people already contributing, of course. Recent growth of the team and increased contributions (yay!) inspired me to start writing this, and it got major feedback and contributions from dpeg, jpeg and due.

I’ve committed it to the repository now for public scrutiny, and hopefully, benefit to current and future contributors. (Wow, am I making a speech here..) It’s in the docs/develop folder.

There’s still room for improvement. The following could (should) be added:

    The process of a proposal/patch making its way into into the game
    Versioning: use of agendas for major versions; only fixes for minor version

And of course, needs to be updated for the new Mantis/Wiki once it’s official. Any feedback is very welcome!
