Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how tab key navigation is handled in Xamarin.Forms. Look at the Entry control's keyboard event handling and the focus management system across platforms (iOS, Android, UWP). Check if there is an existing mechanism for tab order and why it fails for lists of entries.
