Contribution guide

[bandaloo]

It's great to see that someone took up the much needed task of porting this to typescript! I used nearley for my master's thesis after trying out PEG.js and some others. How far are you planning to take this and what are the next steps? I see the grammar and the name has also changed from nearley, so is it gonna become its own thing? Anyway, I'd potentially like to contribute and I'm wondering what the priorities are. Maybe the simplest thing to do would be to just have that info in the readme. Also, would it make sense to enable the Discussions tab for this repo?

So it originally started as a port and I wanted to stay as true as possible to source but I quickly realized there were a lot of changes that may not fall inline with Nearley. For example having alternative parsing algorithms. I was hesitant at first, but I think it's safe to say that I have moved so far from the source material that this is going to be it's own thing.

As far as contributing I don't know if its ready for that yet. I am still moving a lot of things around and I would hate to work against others. But I will add what the priorities and goals of this project are in the readme. Then I'll get Discussions open and see where we go from there.
