As a newcomer it is hard to judge, what the "right" way to contribute to the project is.

I suggest adding a CONTRIBUTING.md file which outlines to newcomers

  • how to setup the repo locally (incl. its dependencies),
  • how the different .ts files which a contributor might want to adapt are related, and
  • what the git workflow is (direct pushes, PRs via branches, PRs via forks),

Alternatively, the existing README.md could be extended with this type of documentation.

We should keep the current README in my opinion. Can you @ilazur add point 2 and 3, please?

In context of this, I just added a small note to README.txt (cf. 19c899c039). It's far from fully useful, but might give an idea on which files to consider at least when adding a dossier.

So i added proposed CONTRIBUTING.md with instructions, how to add new dossier. Please review it, if you will have time.

@ilazur Thank you for your work on this: it has clarified a few things for me. Please find my proposed adjustments to the CONTRIBUTING.md file in #15. What do you think about those?

PS: It would have been easier for me to give you feedback, if you had created a PR yourself rather than pushing directly onto master ;)
