[all] Getting started guide

[Phil Steitz <ph...@gmail.com>]

I sent a couple of emails last week to people getting started as
contributors here.  Every time I do this, I feel bad about how the set
of links that I end up sending out bounce them all over apache.org and
I still have to add a fair amont of explanatory text to make it all
make sense.  Would anyone have any objections to a short "getting
started" page linked to the top-level commons page?  Even better,
anyone else want to volunteer to write it?

Do you have your links and explanatory text available?

I imagine the problem is that there are a lot of www.apache.org bits;
but then we have Jakarta specific bits and then Commons specific bits.

ie)

http://www.apache.org/dev/
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/getinvolved.html
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/volunteering.html

Shouldn't things fit into there?
