Overview

Many software developers learned to code without really learning what "open source" is. They might know that it exists, or even what it technically means for a project to be hosted on GitHub - but not much more.

We'll want a page that explains for these developers in the context of the Open Contributions Project:

What open source technically means
Why projects choose to be open source
How projects tend to be maintained

Additional Info

Per #20, we'll eventually have a full design for the site & menus. But for now this page can live on its own.

This site is built on Next.js. You can create a new page by adding a .md file under src/pages. See https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/pages.
