We often have new contributors coming in who don't know anything at all about OpenRefine as a user. They might be coming to the project because they want to gather experience contributing to an open source project (for instance: Outreachy/GSoC applicants), or because we hired them to work in a particular capacity in the project (for instance: hiring a designer, a security consultant, a community manager…)

To onboard those new contributors on the project, it would be helpful to have a pre-defined set of resources we can point them at, to learn how to use OpenRefine. This knowledge of the tool from a user perspective is generally very useful to get involved in the project.

We currently list a few resources in passing in https://openrefine.org/docs/technical-reference/code-contributions but it would be helpful to have a bigger list, more visible (also advertised to other types of contributors, not just developers), where people would be able to find tutorials focusing on certain topics.

For the records we have this old wiki page also providing a list of tutorial https://github.com/OpenRefine/OpenRefine/wiki/External-Resources however it may contains broken links and outdated tutorials

I am sorry @wetneb I went through it I felt I wouldn't able to provide such good quality to this as much it requires. As why it's better that I unassign this so that any other OS Contributor provide more valuable content
