The current SLIM Contributing Guide is pretty lengthy and complex and it takes a while to get to the point. New contributors may find it unwieldy and not even bother.
Describe the feature request
It would be good to simply it so that new potential contributors can hit the ground running fast. Some ideas:
Quickstart should be a top-level section and be more bullet-pointyish
How to write / improve a best practice guide is currently hidden in the documentation section. Bring that to its own top-level category of ways to contribute and place that at the top
Provide advisement on how to contribute to SLIM in terms:
Need to outreach to potential other contributors as well as potential users of the solution
How to drag-drop and plan on the planning board what you plan to do in which quarter
New top-level section on "Infusion" of best practices (currently TBD but should share advice on PR strategy)
Note down details about the monthly tag-up of SLIM community members
Checked for duplicates
Yes - I've already checked
Alternatives considered
Yes - and alternatives don't suffice
