Greetings Project Leader, Sir, I do see your points and I agree that it's all a bit of a confusion as to where new users should be directed to.
Actually, I myself joined only a month ago and I must admit the Fedora Join SIG did actually get me confused at first. The link to the Fedora Join SIG Docs: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-join/ I think should be moved to : https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-join-sig instead which may ease the confusion a bit. Finallly, I am all for having a user-focused "Join Fedora '' docs section on docs.fedoraproject.org that is separate from the Join SIG docs. Maybe we could rename the Fedora Join SIG, "Fedora Mentors" as it is essentially what they do. When helping out new contributors. This will allow us to further avoid confusion. Also I felt a little nervous writing an email to the big project leader.
