> In terms of audience for this page it wouldn't just be a new GSOC contributor

> like to simply send them the link to this page and this shoudl fully orient
> them to learn what software does, where we need contribution, who they
> contribute, how to get environment set up and be able to make their first
> successful contribution/PR.

> # Why they should contribute
> # How to get development environment set up

> # Standards for contributions/process for contributing
> # Best practices, etc.
> # Where and How they should contribute

> # Where to contact mentors or get help on project
> # Slack
> # Mailing Lists
> # Include link to GSOC ideas/application page.
