[DISCUSS] TC bot instructions for open source contributors

[Ivan Pavlukhin]

Hi,

Recently I faced problems explaining how a code contribution for
Ignite should be checked with TC bot. Initially I thought that this
process is well defined in our beloved contribution guidelines [1, 2].
But as I see neither of them explains the process directly. Finally I
found better instructions [3].

So, the questions is should not we mention TC bot as earlier as
possible? Naively I would like to see some words about it in
CONTRIBUTING.md [1].

Please, share your thoughts on this!

Hello!

I think it should be mentioned in [2] since this is the link we try to give
to every new Ignite contributor.

Regards.

+1 for linking it from How to contribute  -
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/IGNITE/How+to+Contribute
to instructions related to the bot.

May be eventually I would be able to contribute some automation into the
Bot to make this process easier and requiring less contributor
intervention.

Sincerely,
Dmitriy Pavlov

What worries me is that the page [1] is quite large. I would love to
see a short (and sufficient enough) version for new contributors.

Hi Ivan, Igniters,

Yeah, our HTC is kind of a mile long. One try I've done to get a shorter
version is GitHub's Contributing.MD
https://github.com/apache/ignite/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#contributing-to-apache-ignite


I used to share both versions - short and long to new contributors.

But I noticed we have checklist for GitHub. It is extremely essential to
have such small features, which simplifies understanding of process for
newcomers. Thank you for doing this.

Sincerely,
Dmitriy Pavlov
