Contributor Guide

[christiansmith]

We need to codify our standard development practices and publish for use across all repositories in the org. At a bare minimum, we need to expand on the Contribute section used in our README files, and create a standard CONTRIBUTE.md file. Bonus points for a human friendly contributor guide.

Please post ideas and topics here for review and group discussion.

Shameless plagiarism from the issues I opened on other repos:

To maintain a standard style across our repositories and to aid new contributors, I propose that we add EditorConfig files to our repositories and make a note of it in our READMEs.

Most editors (vim, Sublime, Atom, VSCode, etc.) have plugins for EditorConfig making it relatively easy to automate tab indentation size, UNIX line-endings and ensure that files end with a new line.

Please see the @trust/model README and .editorconfig file for the proposed configuration.
