[Ccsf-campus-staff] collaborating with PeerLirbary

[Mitar]

Hi!

We were talking a bit in the team and we worry about how suitable our
project is for beginners. The issue is that we are observing that
people need quite some time to get to used to it. We are using few
non-mainstream technologies like Meteor, CoffeeScript, Stylus, so
contributors often struggle initially. So I am not sure how suitable
our project would be for the format you have for your workshop. On the
other hand, this is something we have to somehow address in our
project, so it might be a good opportunity to learn how. Personally, I
sadly cannot go this Saturday because I have already one other
commitment, but maybe Rodrigo you could just go and observe how it is
done? Not sure here, just thinking it loud.

So we made quite some documentation how to contribute, but there is
still a lot to learn/know:
