what’s the best guide to take someone who has an idea for a package from idea through submission to official repo?

I would just

1. use one of the template generators (eg my own [PkgSkeleton.jl](https://github.com/tpapp/PkgSkeleton.jl) or the well-established [PkgTemplates.jl](https://github.com/invenia/PkgTemplates.jl)), then

2. code and test the package, and

3. register using [Registrator.jl](https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/Registrator.jl).

This assumes you are familiar with git/Github.

Awesome, I’ll look at those packages. I’m familiar with git and github, but very new to Julia… it’s something I’ve evaluated a couple times a year, and been waiting on jumping into, but ready to start now that things seem more stable.
