Volunteering to write new-user tutorial; need a small bit of help getting started

[bkuhn]

Background

I've just spent the last few hours reviewing this repository and the website. I first of all want to thank @j-kaltes for some amazing work! I am a software freedom activist who was just recently diagnosed with diabetes. I just today went through the experience many of you probably did early on: showing up to your first appointment with a diabetes specialist who then wants you to quickly agree to a 35+ page proprietary software licensing agreement just to do a 14-day initial glucose monitor to set your baseline! I very rarely agree to proprietary software licenses in any event, and when I do, I read every word of them and consider for days before I am ready to agree.

In real-time during my appointment, I was able to find the Juggluco site, and while @j-katles has put in an amazing effort to keep things documented, there is a lot of searching around one has to do if they want to use Juggluco as their first app and do not want to install the proprietary ones from the manufacturer. In the 1-hr appointment while talking to the doctor trying to explain why I wouldn't agree to a proprietary license, I wasn't able to quickly find a document that described Juggluco's feature compatibility by country and product, and clear instructions on how to get up and running. For example, it initially seemed that US Libre 3 Plus is not supported, but it looks like support was added in the last few months.

Offer to write a new user tutorial

Since I'm a brand-new user both of continuous glucose monitoring and Juggluco, but a veteran in FOSS development and project management, I'd like to volunteer my skills to help by first writing a comprehensive, single tutorial for getting started with glucose monitoring with Juggluco.

To do this, I will need help to answer questions as I begin documenting stuff.

My first question is this: if I want to write such a tutorial, where is the best place to put it? My suggestion would be to make a file GETTING_STARTED.md at the top-level of the repository, but I'm open to whatever you'd suggest.

Related query: are the files for juggluco.nl under version control? I saw some typos and would be glad to send a pull request for that too.

www.juggluco.nl comes from https://github.com/j-kaltes/j-kaltes.github.io
Except for the help files in Juggluco itself that are also displayed under https://www.juggluco.nl/Jugglucohelp and come from: https://github.com/j-kaltes/Jugglucohelp
So you could do a pull request with your corrections of typos.
There is already a getting started at Google Play which is also displayed in the README.md at https://github.com/j-kaltes/Juggluco. Its title is "Start" without "Getting" and "ed".
