08/20/2021, 9:46 PMHi, @adam_roderick. I think we are still working to improve the how-to docs in this regard. For now, you can use this MR as a sample.
The process is to send an MR with a yaml file named like
_data/taps/<sourcename>.ymlassets/logos/taps/<sourcename>.pngaaronsteers
08/20/2021, 9:46 PMDoes this help?

08/20/2021, 9:49 PMDifferent question, have you liked the fork/MR approach to having others contribute to this? I'm working on a different concept and want community contributions--any advice to share?

08/20/2021, 9:55 PMA great question. 馃檪 We are still learning ourselves, I think.
In future, we may consider a templated-issue approach - meaning, we'd create a link to open an issue with prompts that the submitter can complete. The tradeoff though, is that in exchange for reducing the barrier of entry for submissions and giving a more guided experience, then we (Meltano) still have to take the extra step of guiding the contributor through the yml creation process or to create it ourselves.

08/20/2021, 9:57 PMAlso - in terms of the process here, I think for the best user experience for meltano folks, we'd like to also appreciate if you can include a yaml file that matches to
_data/meltano/extractors/<sourcename>.ymlaaronsteers
08/20/2021, 9:58 PMIt's mostly the same info, except including
