5. Providing documentation where necessary
6. Using descriptive commit messages

RT @Bashfulrobot@twitter.com: I don’t think people realize how much time contributors work in the background. Things that may not be in the public light. Thank you to each and everyone, no matter the project, paid/unpaid, no matter. It bleeds into personal life.
