Description

I think that it would be great if we add a page teaching how to contribute, like in the legacy one

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start with the legacy contribution page at https://legacy.reactjs.org/docs/how-to-contribute.html and compare it with the current react.dev documentation structure. Add an equivalent contribution page to react.dev, preserving the useful guidance from the legacy page, and verify that it is reachable through the documentation site.
