Re: [gnome-love] Guide to GNOME Contribution

Hey guys,

One thing I think would be useful is writing interactive webpages for this guide. Likewise a 

classic 'Install wizard', the user would read the first page and choose which one would be 

the next.

As an example: User reads what Jhbuild is. Now he can click on his distro logo and go to 

a page which guides him through the installation of Jhbuild.

In other words, some interactive experience such as Codecademy's[0].

That's actually a very good guide. Just a thought, it will be easier to read if you break it down into multiple posts something like multiple how-tos.

Hello, everyone

I am recent Outreach Program for Women intern with GNOME (round 5). I had written user manuals for Terminal and Dictionary.

I found that many newcomers have trouble making the connection between bugs - source code - git. They are unable to install JHbuild when asked. Worst of all, many of them give up altogether, simply because they don't know _why_ they are learning what they are asked to.

To answer all of these concerns and give an end-to-end guide that will present the big picture but in a concise way, I have written http://sindhus.bitbucket.org/guide-to-gnome-contribution.html

If you would like to help make this document better, you can also send me github pull requests here: https://github.com/sindhus/guide-to-gnome-contribution

Thank you for your time!
