Work In Progress about help/contribute stuff
Current situation
I can see so far 3 pages concerning it:
- Help:Contents which talks about What is Userbase, some guidelines, and some guide to contribute.
- UserBase which talks about What is Userbase
- UserBase/Guidelines which is actually more a "Code of conduct": license problem, be nice with other, mixed with some advices to contribute
Proposed re-organisation
- Rename link to Help:Contents as "Contribute" in the side-bar, and focus on this page on the step-by-step contribute starting guide.
- Clean UserBase so that it talks only about what is Userbase, and link it through a "What is Userbase" or "Help" link in the sidebar.
- Clean the Guidelines so that it talks about the code of conduct, move everything related to contribute howto on the Contribute (Help:Contents) page.
Potential outline for the 3 pages
Help:Contents page
Quick-Start Contributing
--> just a renaming of the 'How to contribute' current section
