[BEP quickstart guide] compiling FAQ / first steps to do

[christinerogers]

This excellent summary from @Remi-Gau deserves to be highlighted somewhere linked from the Submission guide / starter kit / tutorial.

Maybe the when and how to start a BEP section gets renamed to BEP quickstart guide, and the below is given in a subpage linking to examples.

No need for a letter of intent.
Open an issue on the BIDS website where you mention these info for the BEP:

- number: 45 # 44 is the last so you are next
  title:
  link: # link to google doc or pull request
  content: # raw, derivatives, metadata
    -   raw
  leads:
  # MUST match given-names and family-names 
  # from the list of bids contributors (see the bids specification citation.cff)
  # BIDS maintainers can add you in there if needed
  -   given-names: ' '
      family-names: ' '
  # Can have as many as you want
  # -   given-names: ' '
  #     family-names: ' '
  status: Just opened. New contributors welcome.
  blocking: # anything blocking the development of the BEP. If not leave emtpy.
  google_doc_created: 
  pull_request_created: # leave empty for now
  pull_request_merged: # leave empty for now

Also something I'd like to start having for each BEP is a communication channel (discord, mattermost, slack...) - should probably be mentioned in the google doc of the BEP.

See here to see how other BEPs are 'described'.

I can try creating a github issue form for this actually.

oh super.
The Submission page should also link back to the when and how section

The larger question of providing examples (like remi's excellent post) is still relevant --:
I just got questions yesterday on this process like "do i literally just fork the repo and make a branch and push it?" so spelling that out somewhere is not a bad is not a bad idea. Pointing to a model would be great too.

I think the BEP process pages will go through a complete overall anyway
