Yep, that was basically my idea. It should list all the various things
you could do, roughly in ascending order of difficulty, to make it
obvious there's a really low bar to getting involved initially. I will
work on a draft of it today.

I think Chris' draft for a front page looks really awesome. I would just
add a brief introductory paragraph which gives our overall mission
statement: something like "The Fedora QA project exists to provide
testing for the software that makes up Fedora, and try to ensure the
quality of Fedora releases and updates is as high as possible." But
other than that I really like it.
