Craft welcome message, FAQ, and workflow for new volunteers

[miguelrios]

We have a lot of people coming to the Slack, which is awesome! But we need a better way to channel them efficiently towards whatever is needed and they can help with.

I propose writing a welcome message with a simple FAQ:

• Where to start?
• How can you help?
• What channels should I subscribe to?
• etc...

We can create a more specific workflow with steps to onboard new volunteers too.

Thoughts?

Yes! We have the #maria-volunteer channel which is working on some of this

Do you have any specific ideas or things you want to include?

[miguelrios]

@jsuarezatzendesk the basic questions above, as well as a good description of every channel we're creating. Thanks for working on this! I'll assign it to you then :)

[miguelrios]

@jsuarezatzendesk can't assign it to you for some reason. Feel free to assign the ticket to yourself.

[jsuarezatzendesk]

I think because I'm not in the SoPR team

[jsuarezatzendesk]

I can't assign it to myself, either

We should highlight in a subtle manner that all these efforts are being done as volunteers, folks should provide information like "i can work 3hrs daily" etc... this way folks that are working together have a better understanding on when to expect any "deliverables" etc.

Sadly If I'm mentioning it, its because it has already been an issue, I just want to keep the effort moving forward while keeping folks happy/engaged.
