Description

https://github.com/ioos/ioos-python-package-skeleton/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md

We should update this to be more specific about how folks should be interacting with these doc sites.

from @dpsnowden:

do I work on main or gh-pages? and Do I commit directly if I'm working on a site with other people or do I fork/pr?

I see two cases:

  1. Those who have admin privs. (don't need to fork)
  2. Those who don't. (need to fork)

We can build off https://github.com/ioos/ioos_code_lab/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#building-new-notebooks

Contributor guide

Open the contributing guide

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start with CONTRIBUTING.md and compare it with the linked ioos_code_lab CONTRIBUTING.md#building-new-notebooks guidance. Document how contributors should work on main or gh-pages, and when administrators can commit directly versus when others should use a fork and pull request. Done means both contributor cases and the doc-site workflow are explicit.
