None of the headers were reallyclear and it was far down the page where I maybe found what I thought might be right. 25 seconds ~120 seconds I read this page mostly. It has lots of infoabout what a designer might do. It doesn'tget me to contribute faster, though. ~180 seconds this page was frustrating because it's a visualversion of the previous page. I wish I could click"contribute" under each area I was interested in. ~240 seconds I read everything here, wanting to make sureI didn't miss anything, before moving through the eight-step list (ugh!) } } This is where I'll stop for now...check out gnome's onboarding @https://wiki.gnome.org/Newcomers but
