Hi Jan,
Looking through the checklist- I can see a developer guide but not an
obvious contributing guide. I would consider contributions to
encompass small bug fixes (even documentation) so I think it would be
good to include something that explains how people can and should get
involved. Similarly I don't see a code of conduct.
I don't see license headers on many pages- and while that may not be a
requirement of the BSD it helps for code transparency, particularly if
people end up on a GitHub page when searching.
Hope that helps
Jo
