Hi community!

I prepared some tutorial showing how to contribute to Boost.Geometry however I think this is ok for Boost in general. It has a form of a README of this repository:

https://github.com/awulkiew/temp-contributing

Later it may be moved to the Boost.Geometry wiki or converted to QBK and put in the docs.

Let me know what you think and what should be modified/fixed.

I like it!

This is a (very clear) technical description. I think we should add one or two things in the section "Modify the branch":

It now contains "At this point it's up to you what to do with your new branch." which is fine.

But I think we should add some hint that if people create a new feature, or a bugfix, or some parts for the docs, or an example, it is often wise to consult the mailing list if that is a good idea. Maybe other people are working on the same thing too. If it is a larger feature it is good to post a sort of implementation plan to check if the feature, and the implementation, is what is expected.

Also we should refer to the coding guidelines.
