For style-changes (such as pep8/flake8) elements, I find that very often new contributors don't know they can configure their text editors to display the pep8/pyflakes violations. Very often, it is a question of mentoring them through the process of configuring their text editors.

This seems like the kind of thing we can document in our contributor guide?

http://scikit-image.org/docs/stable/contribute.html#stylistic-guidelines

That seems a fairly sensible place to document this :)

But considering this affect many projects in the scipy community, I am wondering if we should not try to combine efforts and link to a common page somewhere on the web (maybe hosted on the scipy-lecture notes website?)

I am happy to work on this, either for scikit-image specifically or to create the webpage somewhere else then edit the scikit-image contribution guidelines to link to this document.
