Contributing Guidelines

[hedgerh]

This is a rough first draft of a CONTRIBUTING.md, as per #443.

Still need to describe version, preversion, postversion, and prepublish scripts.

Also not sure what else needs to be covered.

Lol, I totally forgot I have these *version scripts.
I don't use them—I bump manually.
Maybe I should.

This is confusing. “Build the lib” presumes contributor knows what we mean by lib. Better to explain that the build task contains two subtasks: the CommonJS module-per-module build and a UMD build.

Ping @hedgerh. This looks great. I'd love to get it finished and merged. No pressure if you are too busy right now—if you like I could take what you've done and carry on from here.

[ellbee]

We should add a section to this document about style changes and eslint-config-rackt which says basically what @timdorr said in the second paragraph of this comment #1081 (comment).

[hedgerh]

Sorry for the delay. Just started a new job. I'll make revisions tonight. @ellbee if I don't get it wrapped up tonight, I'd definitely appreciate some help

[ellbee]

@hedgerh Cool, thanks. No need to apologise, I appreciate the effort you put into this.

@hedgerh I've squashed your commits and created a new PR #1124. Thanks again.
