docs(contribute): extend contribution guidelines

All threads resolved!

Hello!

My name is Alba, and I'm working at The Neighbourhoodie, the implementation partner of the STF. This MR addresses the work agreed on the /contribute page.

I have a set of questions that would help me improve this MR:

  1. The Contribute to testing section is quite sparse. Is there any way I could link directly to the tests being written? Is this something you'd be interested in?
  2. I've highlighted 3 projects in the Contribute to tools section. I think listing a few of them is beneficial. Are the ones I selected the ones you wish to have highlighted? I can switch to your preferences; let me know if that's the case.
  3. What parts of your current workflow have I not described?
  4. In what other ways can people contribute that I have not described yet?
  5. What are the current overarching goals and challenges of this project, and how can people contribute to them that I have not reflected yet?

Feel free to let me know if there are any other adjustments you'd like! Thank you

      First up, just to say I think this is a really great start and that I'm sorry it's been waiting here without response for a 3 weeks. Let me tackle your questions in turn:

      1. The Contribute to testing section is quite sparse. Is there any way I could link directly to the tests being written? Is this something you'd be interested in?

      Yes, I think that would be good. The source for the tests is primarily in this Git repo. Alas there is a broken link to an "about" page on the test output pages, but I think a link to the README page of the wiki would be a good start.

      1. I've highlighted 3 projects in the Contribute to tools section. I think listing a few of them is beneficial. Are the ones I selected the ones you wish to have highlighted? I can switch to your preferences; let me know if that's the case.

      Those 3 tools are ideal IMHO.

      1. What parts of your current workflow have I not described?

      To clarify, do you perhaps mean in terms of a workflow for a new (who will need do some specific, project-specific things), or a generalised workflow for "regular" developers?

      1. In what other ways can people contribute that I have not described yet?

      Good question. Folks can:

      • Make their own software reproducible
      • Use our tools (eg. diffoscope) in other contexts and therefore increase their userbase?
      1. What are the current overarching goals and challenges of this project, and how can people contribute to them that I have not reflected yet?

      Hmm, big existential question. I think a bullet point about "complete, end-to-end integration into existing operating systems" and "tools to expose reproducibility / trust status to everyday users" would fit under this (at least to start).

      Again, thanks — I personally think this could be merged now, but feel free to make more changes and ping me here.
