>
> * Add link to the main contributions guidelines
> * Add a test of "how I know that my dev setup is OK?" to the end of the R-only step
> * The R-only instructions just have instructions on how to install libarrow but we should add a little about how to connect it up with the repo clone; the instructions mention it in the Linux version but could be more explicit
> * When a user clones the repo via RStudio it creates an .rproj file in the root directory - we should add an instructions to clone the arrow fork from the command line so we can use the project's .rproj file
> * We should consider removing the instruction for installing the released version of libarrow (or demoting it to the second place and explain why we'd use it) as typically a dev would want the dev version
> * Mac - you can't just install openssl, you need to add it to your path as LibreSSL is the default - we should add instructions about this
> * Better demarcation between "special instructions for Linux" and the next section - maybe use tabs again?
> * clarification of the difference between the build directory and the installation directory
