# Objective
Fixes#5390. Makes https://dev-docs.bevyengine.org/ a bit more discoverable.
## Solution
Mention the option as an alternative option to building the docs yourself in CONTRIBUTING.md.
# Objective
- In #4966, @DJMcNab noted that the changes should likely have been flagged as controversial, and blocked on a final pass from @cart.
- I think this is generally reasonable.
- Added as an explicit guideline.
- Changes to top-level files are also typically controversial, due to the high visible impact (see #4700 for a case of that).
- Added as an explicit guideline.
- The licensing information of our included assets is hard to find.
- Call out the existence of CREDITS.md
Small nitpicks over my full read over Contributing.md
# Objective
Fixes to Contributing file
- Lists more coherent: starting with capital letter and ending with point.
- Fixed a Typo.
- A clarification on approval aimed at newcomers.
- Reference links
**This Commit**
1. Makes it so the sentence doesn't read "are contributors who have Have
actively ..."
2. Makes it so all three bullet points end in punctuation
**Notes**
Could also remove the leading "Have" from all bullet points and leave it
on the previous sentence. That's the least redundant but I guess this is
more flexible if we want to add a sentence that doesn't start with
"Have" later.
# Objective
- CONTRIBUTING.md references wrong issue label, making it potentially confusing for new contributors.
## Solution
- Update CONTRIBUTING.md.
---
I assume the label was changed recently.
# Objective
- Original objective was to add doc build warning check to the ci local execution
- I somewhat deviated and changed other things...
## Solution
`cargo run -p ci` can now take more parameters:
* `format` - cargo fmt
* `clippy` - clippy
* `compile-fail` - bevy_ecs_compile_fail_tests tests
* `test` - tests but not doc tests and do not build examples
* `doc-test` - doc tests
* `doc-check` - doc build and warnings
* `bench-check` - check that benches build
* `example-check` - check that examples build
* `lints` - group - run lints and format and clippy
* `doc` - group - run doc-test and doc-check
* `compile` - group - run compile-fail and bench-check and example-check
* not providing a parameter will run everything
Ci is using those when possible:
* `build` jobs now don't run doc tests and don't build examples. it makes this job faster, but doc tests and examples are not built for each architecture target
* `ci` job doesn't run the `compile-fail` part but only format and clippy, taking less time
* `check-benches` becomes `check-compiles` and runs the `compile` tasks. It takes longer. I also fixed how it was using cache
* `check-doc` job is now independent and also run the doc tests, so it takes longer. I commented out the deadlinks check as it takes 2.5 minutes (to install) and doesn't work
# Objective
- The strategy for delegation has changed!
- Figuring out exactly where the "controversial" line is can be challenging
## Solution
- Update the CONTRIBUTING.md
- Specify rough guidelines for what makes a PR controversial.
- BONUS: yeet references to old roadmap.
# Objective
CONTRIBUTING.md contains links to pages that are restricted to Bevy Engine Org members.
First time contributors who read CONTRIBUTING.md will end up on a confusing 404 page if they try to follow the link.
Relevant discussion: #4365
## Solution
Replace links with directions to the Triage Team page.
### Note
I'm not sure if `assign themselves as a member` is accurate. I think that is what `automatically request membership` was referring to, but i can't check for myself 😉

# Objective
- Update CONTRIBUTING.md with the arrival of a new member who has merge rights
## Solution
- Just add them to the CONTRIBUTING.md

[**RENDERED**](https://github.com/alice-i-cecile/bevy/blob/better-contributing/CONTRIBUTING.md)
Improves #910. As discussed in #1309, we'll need to synchronize content between this and the Bevy website in some way (and clean up the .github file perhaps?).
I think doing it as a root-directory file is nicer for discovery, but that's a conversation I'm interested in having.
This document is intended to be helpful to beginners to open source and Bevy, and captures what I've learned about our informal practices and values.
Reviewers: I'm particularly interested in:
- opinions on the items **What we're trying to build**, where I discuss some of the project's high-level values and goals
- more relevant details on the `bevy` subcrates for **Getting oriented**
- useful tricks and best practices that I missed
- better guidance on how to contribute to the Bevy book from @cart <3
