[jira] [Created] (BEAM-8798) Contributing docs omit many steps

Elliotte Rusty Harold created BEAM-8798:
-------------------------------------------

             Summary: Contributing docs omit many steps
                 Key: BEAM-8798
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-8798
             Project: Beam
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: website
    Affects Versions: 2.16.0
            Reporter: Elliotte Rusty Harold


So far I've noticed the following packages and tools that are not available by default on a Debian system, need to be installed to build and test beam, and are not yet mentioned in all our docs:

* tox
* Go
* Python (which versions?)
* Docker

There might be more. The docs such as README.md should be updated to include these. This covers README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/BEAM/Contributor+FAQ, and https://beam.apache.org/contribute/

That we have four such docs is itself an issue. We should probably consolidate these.
