The Welcome README and Guidelines are a temporary measure and could use revision. These/a general onboarding workflow to welcome people into the community is essential to grow beyond those of us that already know one another.
One thought is to make the Readme nice and short, linking out to all the things to read so it feels a bit less daunting to get started. Wonder if everything under “What is this place?” is a separate post that is an onboarding step to read.
I also think it could be good to add a post to orient people to this site. I have never used Discourse, and it took a good bit of poking around to find out what all the channels were. Maybe just a site map type thing or just what’s under Actively Participate right now labeled as site map or something.
