Here is the scikit-image contributor guide:

It can do with some love, but it's probably quite similar to what we use
in SciPy.  Perhaps it's worth collectively updating such a set of notes
first, that we can then turn into a series of small video snippets?

For that, I suggest we make one opinionated choice of environment for
illustrative purposes.  We can probably come up with a set of 5 or 10
things that a workable editing environment needs to have (spaces not
tabs, PEP8 checker, etc.).
