Create Contributing Guidelines to Streamline Contributions #3

Description

@tin900

We need to establish clear contributing guidelines to help new contributors understand how to participate in our project effectively. Here's a proposed outline by LLM:

We will need a CONTRIBUTING.md file. We need to check if this can be added as "template" to be re-used over all our repositories.

  1. Introduction: Welcome message and overview of the contribution process.

  2. Getting Started:

    • How to fork and clone the repository
    • Setting up the development environment
    • Running tests
  3. How to Contribute:

    • Reporting bugs (with issue template)
    • Suggesting enhancements (with feature request template)
    • Code contributions
      • Branching model (e.g., feature branches, hotfix branches)
      • Commit message format
      • Pull request process
  4. Coding Standards:

    • Code style guide
    • Documentation requirements
  5. Community:

    • Communication channels (e.g., Discord, mailing list)
    • Code of Conduct reference
  6. Review Process: Explanation of how contributions are reviewed and merged.
