I couldn't find anywhere which is dedicated to the 'people side' of getting started. I'm happy to move this to a different page or remove it entirely if people think it's a bad idea, the commit is more to inspire the discussion around whether it's ok to add this. The communication around FreeCAD is quite fragmented (forum/discord/issues/reddit/etc) and I found this very confusing as a newcomer. I tried to word it to emphasize that new contributors should give things a 'good shot' before reaching out. This is to avoid people being swamped by new contributors who aren't very serious about positively contributing.
