Add technical overview/contributing document

[nylen]

It would be a good idea to have a contributing document for developers, since there is a non-trivial amount of code here now, and our main contributing document is oriented towards people who are adding or updating info for their company.

This blog post should be a good start, but it would need to be reformatted a bit:

https://blog.remoteintech.company/2018/09/19/website-updates/

It would also be good to get some feedback from developers who aren't familiar with the project yet to see what should be included there and how it should be organized.

There is also already site/README.md which I totally forgot about. Probably needs to be linked from more places.

Hey, @nylen is this already an issue? I would like to contribute

[dougaitken]

@ZawadiSumba66 nylen isn't involved anymore, it's just me.

If you'd like to contribute, then please open a Pull Request with your thoughts, or elaborate here.

Important - I would like to move towards another system such as Jekyll so the current technical setup isn't set in stone. There are outdated dependancies and I don't have the coding knowledge to safely move away from them right now.

Hey i would like to work on this issue can you please assign this issue to me?

[dougaitken]

@Jaya-sys Thanks for your interest. Being honest, I'm not assigning this specific Issue to anyone. It will remain open and unassigned until a full contribution is merged which answers this main topic.

If you'd like to contribute, please review this Issue in full and open a Pull Request with your ideas and contributions.

@dougaitken Should I add a new list here like Contribute or add a new Blog post like How to Contribute

[jainendra001]

Hi @dougaitken can I work on this issue, I am a full stack developer from India and currently an undergrad at IIT . So do you mean that I have to first provide the full solution for this issue?

[Ki-er]

I would wait until #1651 (comment) has been completed before this is carried out

[dougaitken]

@dhruvchandak30 @jainendra001 Thanks for the interest but as @KieranRobson said, this may not be appropriate.

[Dxuian]

[dougaitken]

Although needed, this is not applicable right now.

Closing this as it's been open for 6 years with no movement. When things progress, a new document will be included.
