Add all-contributors bot

[jbteves]

Summary

Add the all-contributors bot in #56 per @KirstieJane's suggestion.

Additional Detail

This would enable us to easily acknowledge contributors through the README or a future CONTRIBUTORS file. A project maintainer will have to add the bot to the repository in order for it to be active. For reference, bot usage may be found here. The bot will do basic natural language processing to use emoji-key while active.

Next Steps

• Install the bot
• Update CONTRIBUTING or community guidelines (would be closed by [DOC] Updates CONTRIBUTING to reflect contribution spec and bot #309)
• Recognize previous contributors

@emdupre WDYT?

This may also fall under the "Healthy Community" milestone.

This sounds great ! I don't know that we should have it in the CONTRIBUTING file itself... What about in a people.md or contributors.md ? Any experience with what other projects are doing, @KirstieJane ?

[jbteves]

There was some discussion about this in #56, see here.

[emdupre]

Thanks for the pointer ! I'd say we should actually go ahead and create that contributors.md, then, since we have 12 people on the "contributors" tab but a few more that I think would be nice to include even though they don't have code contributions just yet.

If there are strong preferences against this, though, happy to brainstorm how best to include it in CONTRIBUTING !

[jbteves]

I agree with @emdupre on splitting it out, just because I like ultra-modularity and it seems like they are distinct things-- one is how to become a contributor, and one is an acknowledgment to existing contributors. Also then the bot can't mess up our CONTRIBUTINGREADME file if it goes haywire for some bizarre reason, but that's more paranoia than sound reasoning.

[KirstieJane]

I have a preference for putting the table in the README - I don't think many people will see the table in contributors.md but I don't mind it going in there.

Agree that its best not in the CONTRIBUTING.md file - sorry if I accidentally recommended this at some point 😬

[jbteves]

Nope, I misread, you said README, sorry! Edited my comment.

Hmm. That didn't work. I might touch base with you Kirstie to see what your solution was ! For now I just manually updated it 😅

Hi everyone ! Sorry for tagging you into this long thread. We've added the all-contributors bot to the project to recognize the many contributions folks have made -- so thank you !

I've done an initial pass, but I know there are contributions I left out ! Please feel free to add contributions from yourself or others following these usage guidelines. I'm also working to get this added to our Contributing guidelines ✨

[jbteves]

I just saw this, I will add that to my documentation PR.

@emdupre once you've approved the request from adding Monica I'll probably just close this unless you have any objections.
