Description

We need to define how to do that first. Initial ideas coming from the experience of onboarding new FT members in 2018:

  • improve doc for new code contributors
  • ISO build troubleshooting doc: issue → solution/workaround
  • clarify expectations e.g. build an ISO to test your proposed changes
