I often want to send people to Join Fedora, to, you know, Join Fedora. :)

But I'm actually a little confused where to start.


Héctor is re-doing https://whatcanidoforfedora.org/, and that's going to be
nice, but I don't think it's ready and also I don't necessarily think it's
the right path for everyone.

The first google hit that comes up is https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join,
but ... that's pretty old, not very well maintained, and doesn't really
represent current activities in the project very well. Plus, I do not want
to send new folks into the minefield that is the wiki right away.

Also, "join.fedoraproject.org" currently links there.


Then, there's this: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-join/

which I _think_ is helpful, but I find somewhat confusing because it mixes
up the business of the Join SIG (that is, all the helpful people working to
provide a nice onboarding process) with the onboarding process itself.

That page points to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Welcome, which...

1. Is frighteningly bare-bones.
2. Has the "it's the wiki" problem again
3. Points to Telegram — I don't have a problem with that as a platform to
   bring people on, but as a service outside of project control, shouldn't
   be where we start. (If people are on and comfortable with Telegram, cool,
   let's meet them there. But I don't want to give the impression that
   signing up for telegram is a first step to 
4. Also IRC; that's a temporary problem until we get chat.fedoraproject.org
   officially launched, though.


Anyway, in short, what's the link I should use for someone who wants to get
involved?

And, leading question: should we have a user-focused "Join Fedora" docs
section on docs.fedoraproject.org that is separate from the Join SIG docs?
