  1. update Slack documentation 

    This addresses some common issues that should be better documented,
and updates the channel lists. We also make some changes to avoid
links that just say "here", which can be problems for accessibility.

  2. update Starter Tasks to be more helpful 

    This adds additional hints and links to the Start Tasks so that new
staffers are more likely to progress through them without getting
confused and giving up.

  3. add a starter task for getting familiar with the command line 

    The existing Starter Tasks mostly presume knowledge of the command
line, which might be overwhelming for someone who hasn't used the
command line much or at all, and doesn't know where to find help. This
aims to ease people into that more gently by giving them the basics.

I expect that many people will already be a little familiar with the
command line. These people can simply skip over this task.

  4. add a starter task for making a PR 

    Making pull requests is a critical part of contributing the OCF. This
starter task will walk people though the process in a lot of detail so
that they can start to get comfortable. It also makes an observable
change to the actual website, so that the task feels less like a
meaningless exercise.

  5. remove git clone instruction from README 

    This instruction assumes that the user has SSH keys set up, and is
not cloning from a fork. It is also incorrect without a `cd ocfweb`
afterwards. In any case "Clone the repo" in the previous sentence
should be sufficient.
