Description:
Current scenario is that users on slack asking how to contribute in FOSS? I know a,b,c and how can I contribute and participate on GSOC? Etc. We answer same and repetitive question and redirect these users to website/GitHub repo.
What I was thinking to have wall (the wall appears after user login). In that wall we would have material like how to contribute in FOSS, Good practices in open source etc. (We don't have to write all this again, there are various blogs and resources who had written about these but all things are scattered so we would collect these resources and combine these and publish to the users wall and also we will attribute all those blogs on reference. Also, we have created resources in GitHub so we will link that to in website for easier navigation.). So as an anonymous user he can't see these posts, he must have to login to view these resources. Also, after these resources published now we can, always redirect users to website.

Would you like to work on this issue?

I have written a blog on the same before, which is the first thing I share with anyone who asks me this.

Sounds awesome, @vaibhavsingh97! I am not sure how feasible/scalable this is here but for Kubernetes, we are looking to build something called as "contributor journeys". It means the person selects whatever topics he is knowledgeable about and we show him the most appropriate projects/repos where he can contribute. I also understand that this is a little tangential to your idea (we should totally what you just said btw!) but just wanted to float the idea out there. I also understand that building this is going to take sufficient time and effort so even if we decide to do this, I don't really expect it to be done anytime soon.

@nikhita That's look awesome to me 😄 What we will do is that we can ad this to our next milestone. So please open issue as this can be missed if we leave it here.
