Hi everyone, In the August 2015 incubator report, the 3rd issue to address before graduation is growing the AsterixDB community.
Since we entered the incubator, at least two members wanted to join the community and contribute only to end up disappearing. Getting acquainted with the codebase seems like a difficult task for new comers and I think we should make it a little bit easier. I know this is long overdue and someone promised in the ancient past to prepare an entry document for new contributor (Who was it?). I am aware that we all are busy addressing issues, working on new features, running some experiments, writing a paper, etc. but we can still work towards this in small steps. My suggestion is that someone create an outline of how that document will be and then publish it in some location where we all have a chance to contribute (Maybe the AsterixDB website in the documentation branch?). Once we have that, whenever somebody spends some time in a new area of the code, they should contribute to the document and we should eventually get there. Cheers, Amoudi, Abdullah.
