What's the Best Way to Contribute?

Following the unveiling of Commonware: the Anti-Framework yesterday, a number of folks have reached out to ask the best way to contribute to Commonware.

What is it?

[patrick-ogrady]

For the next few weeks, the best way to lend a hand is:

• Build something that uses Commonware's primitives (bonus points if you incorporate one of our own primitives in the process). You can use the examples we've already created as a reference for how you would do this: examples::chat, examples::vrf, examples::log. Top of my wishlist? Someone that uses reth to build a chain on top of consensus::simplex.
• Write your own dialect for an existing primitive (p2p, storage, consensus, etc.) or write a new type of primitive for some function we haven't gotten to yet (like mempool).
• Post an issue for a feature or primitive you'd like to see (with a specific case where you'd like to use it)
• Write a developer guide on how to leverage a specific primitive (or even just write about how one works). Most of our primitives have a detailed explanation of how they work in the Rust docs but it might be a little low-level for some.
