New Issue Checklist

RANews checklist

System Requirements

• Have Jekyll installed. Note: If you're familiar with docker, you don't need to install Jekyll.
• Have a way to run a bash script (native on Linux/MacOS, requires some tweaks on Windows).
• Have a git client installed.
• Optional but suggested: Visual Studio Code (makes git commands easier)

Steps to release a new RANews issue
