Mark Owens reassigned ACCUMULO-4714:
------------------------------------
Assignee: Mark Owens
> Create landing page for new developers
> --------------------------------------
>
> Key: ACCUMULO-4714
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-4714
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: website
> Reporter: Michael Miller
> Assignee: Mark Owens
>
> The website has a lot of good information for contributing to Accumulo but it
> is scattered across multiple pages. There is no clear, concise page that can
> be sent as a link to developers interested in committing to the project. I
> feel like this is a turn off for someone who is interested in contributing to
> Accumulo.
> This page would be a good place but it is just a bunch of links:
> https://accumulo.apache.org/contributor/
> As a recent newcomer I would tend to go here:
> https://accumulo.apache.org/contributor/source
> But this page is confusing. The first instructions you get (after more
> links) explain how to build the website. Then when you get to the developers
> guide the the very first thing is a paragraph about activating the Thrift
> profile. While this information is all very useful, the first 2 scenarios
> are edge cases of development and it does not ease a new developer into
> writing code for Accumulo.
