This page is an ambitious attempt at providing an entry point for new Debian contributors.
TODO
Introduction page about Debian Development
- Find a cool name. We need something easy to remember ("Help Debian" is not so bad, but we can do better!)
- Lucas registered help.debian.net (and won't make a fuss if someone has a better idea)
- polish.debian.net, it is the polishing that makes the gem shine ( for those who care about a cool name )
Write a page (?Draft is here)
- answering the following questions:
- Why should I contribute to Debian? (short answer: Debian is cool. explain.)
- What can I do?
- Where do I start?
- We have to /sell/ the tasks to the reader. Show him easy stuff to start with.

- We shouldn't be too technical, but point to the relevant tech docs instead. (let's not reinvent the wheel)
- answering the following questions:
Bugs suitable for new contributors
- Implement a nice page to search for interesting bugs.
