Comments on the repository

I chose this repo because I use Notepad++ very often while using Windows.

• There is a README file in homepage of repository and it is explanatory. About, change logs, features, compiling, testing and FAQ are served as Wiki pages. These pages have enough information and they are well-designed.
• There are 327 contributors but main developer is Don Ho. There is a contributing guideline in the repo explains how to report an issue, make a pull request. This guideline is a good idea but I'm not sure those who will contribute will read this.
• Currently 1905/8845 issue is open. There are labels (accepted, language-support, bug, verified, etc.) but they are not used in general. Instead, some keywords are used in titles such that "[Feature Request] - Hide icons in Tab Bar".
