Was the installation successful? (if not, explain what went wrong and what you did to try to remedy it) Installation was successful but running locally is another problem. There are many steps for running it locally which requires docker, redux dev tools, getting past email verification, etc.
How long did the whole process take? About 15-30 mins for installation. Did not try running it locally but would take much longer.
How friendly is this project for beginner contributors?
No friendly for beginner contributors with not much discussion and activeness.
Do the maintainers respond helpfully to questions in issues?
Maintainers are not as active as other ones I have seen in other projects.
Are people friendly in the issues, discussion forum, and chat (for example, IRC or Slack)?
Yes
Do pull requests get reviewed?
Yes? It seems to be mostly just the maintainer opening and closing pull requests.
Do maintainers thank people for their contributions?
Yes

No
Are there any special hardware/software requirements to be able to contribute to the project? If so, what are they?
