Mark Owens commented on ACCUMULO-4714:
--------------------------------------

That was my thought as well. I hope to organize the information that I have 
repeatedly referred back to as I’ve gotten started with the project. I’ll 
definitely week out assistance as I go along.

> 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

> 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.
