Description
The current Contributing section on pipecd.dev only links to CONTRIBUTING.md and a basic architecture page. While helpful, it lacks the depth and guidance needed to support both new contributors and users.
Goals
- Make the section more welcoming for first-time contributors.
- Provide clear pathways for different contribution types (docs, code, design, translations, etc.).
- Include architecture context, but also practical steps for setup, workflow, and PR process.
- Highlight community channels, issue labels, and where to seek help
