Description
Describe the behaviour you'd like
I'd like to be able to greet new developers to the project with a message, documentation, or instructions when they open the project in Gitpod. This would be similar to the "Get Started" page that vscode shows when you first open it. Maybe this is already possible with Gitpod?
I think it would be sufficient to render the project's CONTRIBUTING.md file if it exists.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Using the terminal as a way to show a greeting message, though I'd like to keep the terminal as clean as possible.

Research direction
Compare the requested Gitpod landing page with VS Code's Get Started page and the proposed terminal greeting. Check whether a project's CONTRIBUTING.md can be rendered when it exists, with completion defined as showing that document while keeping the terminal clean.
