     • Starting point
     • Ending point (how do you know you're done?)
     • Steps between
   • Contain links for every concept/terminology
     • Either to StepZero pages or to good external pages

   What we try NOT to do:

   • Get into in-depth technical discussions
   • Address in-depth technical how-tos
     • Other sites handle this far better
     • We're just how to get started; other sites are better suited for in-depth technical things

   What we DO:

   • Give people a resource for basic (as defined by...?) information about how to contribute to open source projects
   • Focus more on the culture and etiquette and basics than the technical details
   • Link people to places where they can find more in-depth information
   • Become a nexus/portal/starting point/waystation for FOSS contributors
