This is a larger revision of the contribute page. It is being renamed to "Join", which is more appropriate. It takes the pressure off from dedicating yourself ot helping out and opens to door to just starting by poking around. The page is now broken down into 7 milestones that slowly easy a newcomer into the community, open-source and bitcoin. It can be tricky to find your way around this ecosystem. Hopefully this journey-like approach and more casual tone makes it a little easier. Various images from the projects page were also in the contribute page folder. I moved those to the projects page folder. I also updated any links to "/contribute/" to the new destination at "/join/". A redirect for the old link is in place. Closes #1053

@utidon had the great idea of creating a kind of checklist for newcomers to the community. It would include a series of milestones with specific sub-tasks. Each milestone would have a focus, like introducing yourself and getting set up, participating in community events, your first contribution, etc. He created a first draft and we chatted a bit about it.
Here's the draft doc, as a PDF, which invites you to print the doc, fill in your name, and use it as a companion.
Welcome to bitcoin design(Name,Date).pdf
I think the content is a great addition to our existing contribute page, which could be a lot better. The page currently lists a bunch of activities, but it's not super structured or goal-oriented. We could flesh out these milestones further and put them on the website. Then the PDF could be a much shorter single-page document, maybe with a more playful design, that you could put up at your desk and tick things off as you go.
If you're interested in helping with this, leave a comment and join the "bitcoin-design-guide" channel in Discord. We can iterate this in a Google Doc, but I don't want to publicly share any files with edit rights here.
