What is the common practice for versioning your package initially? I've read it's pretty standard to start 1.0.0; but that some people don't do this. I'm getting set to start my first open source project so I'm doing research on the who, what, where, when, why, & how one does this. Any feedback on potential problems a noob can run into would be outstanding! Thanks in advance!

According to SemVer, it is good to mark your initial development phase with 0.1.0. Once your project has a stable API or used in production, you can bump the version to 1.0.0.
SemVer was an effort to standardise what each number means in a version.
