   @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?
