Getting involved in civic tech

[afeld]

I've been wanting to make some guidelines around "getting started in civic tech", because I've had a few people ask me where to get started and didn't have a great place to point them. What should it say?

Some relevant links:

• https://github.com/codeforamerica/project-ideas
• https://www.govcode.org/
• https://twitter.com/civicissues (via https://github.com/codeforamerica/project-ideas/issues/42)

@afeld feel free to use govcode any way or shape you want. We can add some docs there and use it as a hub...

Also, I don't know if you checked out the new version: http://stage.govcode.org.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/
