I see many kids (specially during GSoC time) come to hackers and ask:
"I am very enthusiastic and know C/C++, xyz and completely new to FreeBSD
but want to contribute. Where do I start? What should I do?"

Is there a page which can provide answer to this question so we can
point them to the page?

I found
https://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html =20

It'd be nice if we could add:=20
0) -questions and -hackers maling-lists as starting point for help.
1) list of ircs that we hangout in on EFNet: bsddev, bsdmips,
freebsd-gsoc, freebsd-git
2) bugzilla and how to search for interested keywords or bugs with patches
3) Ideas wiki page

Just my 2c.

Cheers,
Hiren
