Description

This is to track progress in the direction of on-boarding documentation. It is being discussed on the Lean Zulip here. Some possible directions:

  1. Improve the getting started page: https://physlean.com/GettingStarted with information regarding GitHub forking etc.
  2. Update the contributing file in the main PhysLean repository, to include the key information needed to contribute to the project.
  3. Create a frequently asked questions page concerning basic questions within the project.

Feel suggest other points here, or assign yourself to any points. Long-form discussions or questions should be made on the Zulip.
