Landing page for new contributors

[ammaraskar]

Currently our main resource targeting new contributors is midway through the index page: https://devguide.python.org/#contributing

It would be nice if we could have more like a landing page for new contributors like Rust's just to point people towards something a little less daunting than the full dev guide: https://prev.rust-lang.org/en-US/contribute.html

Hey @ammaraskar @willingc I have a good hand in front end development can i start working by making https://devguide.python.org/#contributing page more like https://prev.rust-lang.org/en-US/contribute.html. You can view my work at my github profile https://github.com/manakwadhwa2002 and I am currently working on [https://www.mentord.co](Mentord Website)

I can help too in the front-end if you want. I can collab with Manak

Hi @manakwadhwa2002 and @Aryankpoor, Let's hold off on big changes to this right now. We're booting up a new documentation workgroup and team in the next couple of weeks. You can hear more when we announce on discuss.python.org. There's going to be a focused effort to improve landing pages.

Feel free to use this issue to brainstorm what would be helpful to have on a new contributor page.

Thanks!

Thanks @willingc I would be more than happy to work with the new documentation workgroup and team. Can you please help me as where will i find the code to this page on github ?

@willingc thanks for the file path and the tip mam. I am sure that this will definitely help me in future :)
