jmark99 commented on issue #37: Accumulo 4714 Create landing page for new developers URL: https://github.com/apache/accumulo-website/pull/37#issuecomment-342826688 @mikewalch, That was a concern as I was working on it. It slowly kept growing as the various bits of information were being collected. I actually like the work you have done quite a lot. As a new contributor I think one is most interested in getting the basic info needed to get them started. Your page does a great job of that. The hope with the submitted layout was that a user could click on the topic that they were interested in and not bother with the additional information but in the end the page did appear to be a little overwhelming. (Information on git workflow, etc, would not be that relevant to a new user initially). I would be good with using your page as the basis for what a new contributor would need to do to get up and running and then find the appropriate way to link to the additional information. Perhaps something like having the site point to your page as the one new developers would reference for initial contribution guidance and then use the page I created to serve as an all-inclusive contributor manual or something like that (renaming it from index.md of course). That way we could add details as needed to the manual since the role of the page would be to serve as a comprehensive repository of contributor-related information. Thoughts?
