Fixes #26

This is currently a WIP PR. Still need to fill in some of the new sections.

Note that I created a 2024 folder so that we can do merge to main without worrying about disturbing the existing structure. Once everything is done, we can replace the main documents with everything from the 2024 folder.

Thoughts on "How to ask questions" & "Where to ask questions"

Currently, the forums to ask questions are either Discord or Telegram. While these are great for real-time conversations, I don't think they are ideal for information retrieval.

Questions and answers can get buried in chat history. So I was thinking it might be better if we encourage students to post their questions as issues on github ?

What do you guys think?

I'd also add it might be worth giving them an example of what that could look like.

@mojalil I think maybe we should create an issue label and have them use it. Otherwise it can be a bit overwhelming. But I think that's a good idea for getting them used to using GitHub!

We can even make an issue template for them. But I'd want to keep it minimal because I want to train them to think about how to write a good issue.

@mojalil would you like to add that to this branch?

@adrianmcli I would

@mojalil I am going to merge this first. Please make an issue and PR if you want to improve this further later on.
