Thanks Zhipeng that helps and good idea. If new contributors find that they
will have enough information to start.

>From FirstContact SIG, we also maintain the Projects Liaisons to have
contact person for that project we can redirect the new contributors. idea
is to have multiple people from single project to cover all different
timezone. I think you already have your name there (+1).
