Update the Project Join page #113

Closed dmethvin closed 8 years ago

https://github.com/jquery/jquery.org/blob/master/pages/projects/join.html

This page is too wordy and spread out to provide a quick overview. Trimming it down would make it easier to read. There may be a few FAQ-level questions we need to add here as well, for example, "Do we have to move the project into the jQuery org?" (No). Most project recruitment discussions will end up being one-on-one with the project leaders so this page does not need to go into minute operational detail.

Ok, I've pared this back significantly at https://docs.google.com/a/jquery.com/document/d/174znvebDBlc5or8whkPMeOS5NLOzxBlm-Dc3C4NAn2s/edit?usp=sharing . We can add more detail back if I've gone too extreme in chopping things away.

I think quotes from each project about their perceived benefit from the foundation would be more useful than an FAQ, but I don't have a strong opinion other than agreeing that I want this page to be pretty light and inviting. I look forward to feedback and suggestions!

Could you put that in a pull request?

@jzaefferer I can once I know it's a good direction. @dmethvin suggested a google doc first since it's a pretty major change, and because it's probably easier to collaborate on the content there. That said, if people want it moved to a PR, that's fine.

@dylans it looks good to me, might want to make that world-commentable so others can see it. At first I was wondering where most of the other points currently on that page would go, but I'm not sure they are useful enough to merit being somewhere. If a project is interested in joining, or if we are recruiting a project to join, it will require one-on-one discussions and all those words in the original document still don't answer their questions. So I'm good with your shorter summary.
