> 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.
