I think it’d be great to reduce the barrier to entry for newcomers, and would welcome anything you (or anyone else) can do to help.  Thanks!

Hey All,

I just came across the mozilla firefox "how to get involved in the dev" docs
http://codefirefox.com/ and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6753583 and https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/introduction

One thing I've been very active on lately is trying to figure out how to talk more people into trying to help out with ghc.  And  the firefox stuff there seems to lay out a great collection of examples of ways to make it a bit easier / managable to get involved!

figured it'd be worth sharing
