Request Item:

Adding a page with a Simple Guide for starting contributions in testing would be helpful for new contributors.
For Reference: https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C03B0H5J0/p1699203872521169

Please let us/me know if you found any existing document to fulfil this requirement.

Future Plan: Share Guide via a private Slackbot message.

Once this Guide is ready, we can use Slack Workflow to share this document with new contributors when someone joins the #core-test channel.

Example:

Welcome to #core-test! If you're eager to contribute to the improvement of WordPress and are seeking a starting point, this guide is tailored to assist you in taking your first steps towards making a meaningful impact. Let's begin your journey of enhancing WordPress together!

Thanks @jeffpaul for the idea ☝🏼

I'm following now this discussion. I'm currently in the process of creation of a new Test contributor pathway in WordPress Learn

I like the idea of adding the workflow to link to this for every new m ember coming into the #core-test channel. I will give it a go once the pathway is released.

Also this issue #111 is going to cover a revamp for this purpose
Once these contents are made we will create a wofkflow bot like I've seen in other teams, with a Welcoming PM linking to this resources.

Do we know the current status of this Issue - I know of some resources being worked on by @supernovia I do not know if they fill the gap.

Please check them out here --> https://make.wordpress.org/handbook/pathways/test/

@SirLouen the Contribution Pathways project has quite a few test guides now!

I'd love to collaborate. Would it help to point to the course?
