Set up community guidelines and standards

[thazhemadam]

It can be seen here how the project compares to the recommended community standards.

Opening this as an "issue" so folks can contribute points they feel might be appropriate for setting these up, and help in organising things a bit more as well.

A few additional things that immediately come to mind in this regard -

• Generic formats for commits so it's immediately obvious what changes are made without always having to dive into the code
• Coding conventions and style guides
• Requiring test cases for new features that are proposed
• Maintaining an official changelog for different versions too
