Jumpstart community contributions

[mr-michael]

There are several relatively simple steps we can take to make it easier for outside developers to get involved in Tally Ho.

I'm listing a few ideas below. Perhaps there are others we can think of suggest as comments?

GitHub updates

• Update README and CONTRIBUTING pages for contributors #1674

• https://github.com/tallycash/extension/blob/main/README.md

• https://github.com/tallycash/extension/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md

Would it make sense to:

• Add a callout 'good first issue' tag?
• Link to 'shadowy super doggos' in case people have questions?
• Having a project board with ‘good first issues’?
• Open a few other 'nice to have' small features to the community?

Gitcoin grants
Reference thread: https://www.flowdock.com/app/cardforcoin/tech/threads/CrdYU2BydZmL_pQONIfQipPAtrS

• Create new Gitcoin grants #1675

• NFT portfolio

• WalletConnect

• Sims / txn preview improvements (e.g. Enrichment "admonitions" #1234) (needs to be scoped/designed)

• Define discord rituals to promote contributions #1676

Some ideas for making outside contributions more visible:

• Run a 'Bug of the week' process
• Invite outside contributors to speak/share on community calls
• Create processes to regularly solicit outside contributions (and celebrate past contributions!) on Twitter, Discord, blog, newsletter...we've done this a bit, but not consistently

@mr-michael maybe issue a POAP badge for contributors? https://www.gitpoap.io/
