Wouldn't it make sense to have "Getting involved" on the start page of dlang.org? Most OSS projects feature something like this on their homepages. In this way, if somebody feels like contributing to D, they get the how-to info straight away (preferably not on Wiki, but on dlang.org).

There is a lot of low hanging fruit, stuff that doesn't even require coding. We should make it as easy as possible for people to get started contributing (cf. [1]). Thus, it would make sense to structure a "Getting involved" page along these lines:

1. code (Phobos, dmd etc.)
2. enhancing the documentation
3. enhancing/extending the homepage

When I started with my first humble contributions, I could only make it happen, because I got tips here on the forum (and per email). But people should be able to dive right into it, after reading "Getting involved"

Any thoughts?
