Brief guide for newcomers (all the useful links)

[mkpouto-inyang]

Hey guys. I made this little compilation of helpful links; as a guide for anyone that may be lost and is wondering how to even start. Side note: We're all just trying to figure it out so don't fret, you're doing great already!

• Introduce yourself here and to the mentors: @seanlip and @AllanYangZhou

• Not sure how to communicate properly on the git community? https://docs.github.com/en/discussions/collaborating-with-your-community-using-discussions/participating-in-a-discussion

• Look through the project requirements and the tasks to be completed. Here's the link: https://www.outreachy.org/outreachy-december-2022-internship-round/communities/oppia/

• For task one, here is a sample review document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Xylm8N7V9P9Xeg8j-5GlHuzEmItAaJT0mqG2nozv5GI/edit#

• To carry out one of the tasks, you would have to access Oppia lessons here: https://github.com/oppia/oppia/wiki/Lesson-Creation-Guide#high-level-process-flow

• Interested in contributing code? Here's the guide on how to do that: https://github.com/oppia/oppia/wiki/Contributing-code-to-Oppia#setting-things-up

• There's also a chat for coders here: https://gitter.im/oppia/oppia-chat

• To contribute in other ways besides coding, here's the guide: https://github.com/oppia/oppia/blob/c7960a8f89f373d50b78b6f815b1adf53a53c217/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md
  You'd find a guide there for several areas of specialization

• Remember that the Time zones of the mentors could be different from yours. @seanlip's timezone is US/Pacific
  Here's a link to a time zone converter: https://dateful.com/time-zone-converter

• Here is a link to Oppia's lesson creation guide: https://github.com/oppia/oppia/wiki/Lesson-Creation-Guide

Best of luck!!

(Administrative note) Someone keeps putting this thread under "Q&A".

Please don't do that. This thread is not a question, and only questions should go in "Q&A". I have put it back in "General". Thanks!
