All this is understandable, but why isn't anything of this listed in the
Get Involved page?
All it says is:
Contribute code
- Contribute code in the form of patches to assist the developers in the development process.
- Requirements: Be a reasonably-experienced developer or designer willing to license code under the GPL.
- How: Attach a patch or link to a GitHub branch to a ticket created in the bug tracker or an RFC on Area51.
Even links to the right packages are scattered among numerous posts here on Area51 and Github. No willing soul can find this. Nothing is mentioned about knowing how to work command line to get composer, no single line or link to something about push/pull/whatever requests...
As said before: a
reasonably-experienced developer or designer has to spend an entire afternoon digging through phpBB.com forums, Area51, the Wiki, Github and even Google before he can start contributing. Hey, I dunno, but maybe that's the reason there aren't so many non-team contributers?
