Hello all,

Thank you Gunnar and Little Girl for the pointers and resources. They've
been greatly helpful as I'm learning about the tools :)

Hi Nio,

I'll have a look at these resources for incorporating various community
teams, thanks:) I guess I've turned this pet peeve of mine about how
undermaintained the documentation is that I'll probably be working on it
as I learn more about the community. I have adding the flavors and
communities to the list as well. Might actually talk about the community
in another page though. I suspect the contribute guide intimidates
newcomers from its sheer length
