Hi everyone,

In a recent thread in this list I mentioned that it might be nice to have a
short guide for our Jira on the wiki since there were some aspects of Jira
that I found a bit unintuitive or not discover-able when I was getting into
the project. I went ahead and wrote one up and would appreciate some
feedback, especially from any contributors that may be new to Beam and/or
Jira.

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/BEAM/Beam+Jira+Beginner%27s+Guide

The main two aspects that I want to make sure I got right are:

1. Covering details that are often confusing for new contributors, such as
ways Beam uses Jira that might be unique, or just unintuitive features.

2. Keeping it very brief and duplicating as little documentation as
possible. I don't want this to get outdated, so I'd much rather link to a
source of truth when possible.

If anyone has any details I missed that they'd like to add, or feel that
they could edit the guide a bit to keep it brief and cut out unnecessary
info, please go ahead. Also, I'm hoping that this guide could be linked
from the Contribution Guide <https://beam.apache.org/contribute/> on the
website if people find it useful, so feedback on that front would be great
too.
