I hope to organize the information that I have repeatedly referred back to as I’ve gotten started with the project. I’ll definitely week out assistance as I go along. > Create landing page for new developers > -- > > Key: ACCUMULO-4714 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-4714 > Project: Accumulo > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: website >Reporter: Michael Miller >Assignee: Mark Owens > > The website has a lot of good information for contributing to Accumulo but it > is scattered across multiple pages.

Thanks for picking this up [~jmark99]! I think this would be a great task for you as you seek out this information :). Feel free to ping the community as well for clarification on whether certain information is useful/relevant or up to date. > Create landing page for new developers > -- > > Key: ACCUMULO-4714 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-4714 > Project: Accumulo > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: website >Reporter: Michael Miller >Assignee: Mark Owens > > The website has a lot of good information for contributing to Accumulo but it > is scattered across multiple pages.

Even better, if this page can eliminate the need for the other pages with the scattered information. I think much of it is just noise, and makes it harder to find the useful bits. The more we can delete and replace with simple and clear info, the better. > Create landing page for new developers > -- > > Key: ACCUMULO-4714 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-4714 > Project: Accumulo > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: website >Reporter: Michael Miller >Assignee: Mark Owens > > The website has a lot of good information for contributing to Accumulo but it > is scattered across multiple pages.
