On the Community page you see this at the top: Before starting to contribute, it is recommended to schedule an orienting interview with TDF mentor Ilmari Lauhakangas. So I am kind of like the central funnel that you mention. Over the years I recognised that the traditional FOSS way to onboard new contributors by pointing to docs favours people who think in a certain way or are at a specific point in their learning journey. The focused mentoring service TDF provides is an answer to this issue. We do have step-by-step onboarding wizard type of instructions for newcomers such as: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/GetInvolved https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GetInvolved It is normal to have different types of documentation for different goals, see for example https://diataxis.fr/ on a whole system about this. The main page of our wiki has an explanation of what kind of content the visitor should expect. What is lacking from our help and guide books site is a corresponding explanation. These main pages also lack links to each other. We still have this old portal site online: https://documentation.libreoffice.org/ It likewise lacks explanation on the goals of the different types of docs. I'm not saying we should refresh the old portal, I think it can go away, but we should get our stuff together on the cross references and explanations - it's a tiny bit of effort after all that was simply overlooked. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
