I'm happy to hear that it was useful! Indeed I always struggle to know where to put this information; our developer documentation is quite scattered and it's hard to know where new contributors will enter it. Nevertheless, the page that you mention seems like an obvious place for these tips. Incidentally, I have long felt that migrating the Wiki documentation into a comprehensive developer's guide (see #18853) in the repository (much like the Rustc Book [1]) would be a useful direction of travel. It would be both prompt us review (and, in some cases, retire) existing and give us the opportunity to structure the documentation in a more coherent manner. Moreover, the fact that it would be part of the repository would both give us the benefit of code review and make it easier to ensure that the documentation remains consistent with the code. This is obviously a longer-term goal, but one which it would be great to have help in moving towards. Cheers, - Ben [1] https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/contributing.html
