Recently, I have started to contribute more often and I have experienced some of the issues this RFC is improving. Love the idea and it would be very useful.

I will share some random feedback without going deeper into the details:

1 - Adding a section describing common type of welcome contributions:

• Small typos or correction: small PRs does not exist.

• Improve docs

• Search new issues on the Help wanted app.

• Specific areas: marketing, community...

• Jump into ongoing initiatives under the Status Board page.

• Help maintaining existing projects

• ...

2 - General tips for contributing from a newcomer’s perspective

This is likely already included on the Topics section, but I find interesting to describe more about general tips to focus not only on the first contribution but the long term.

Very good to help with "tips for the review process about finding a reviewer”. I think it also depends on the organization aspects of the community.

I know that you have a few things in "Unresolved Questions" about the exact form that this content should take, but I think we should merge this RFC as soon as possible and start working together to figure out how to make this a reality 🎉

Should the Guides be expanded by relevant information about other types of contribution work as we iterate on it?

I think that this RFC clearly communicates an intent to make the on-ramp for contributing to Ember in any way much easier for any level of developer. I think that eventually expending the Guide to include non-code related contributions is already captured in the spirit of this RFC 👍
