Add "Get involved" page to point new contributors to the right places. [#1751130]

Problem/Motivation

Currently: The "Get involved" tab is a user/register page that hides when a user is logged in. Potential contributors should easily be able to find out where the action is happening and how they can help out. They should also understand the different ways they can help.

Proposed resolution

1. Turn the User/register page into an action that reflects the action of filling in a registration form: Such as "Sign up" or "Join here".
2. Add a new page "Get involved".

Content for the Get Involved page will be added in the next comment. The text and the image is here:
https://docs.google.com/a/acquia.com/document/d/1DdQQkdHwlJfX7FTDuvIfI5G...

Remaining tasks

- Review the written documentation
- Add a page with the written documentation to drupalladder.org

TITLE: Get involved

START COPY

How can I get involved?

It looks like you want to help out! That's great!

As soon as you register on the site you can leave comments on existing ladders and create new ladders. The lesson authors need your help.

Conduct functional testing of lessons. Go through the steps to see if the lesson works.
Suggest improvements. Take screenshots of steps, or clarify any confusing language.
You can also create new ladders and lessons. Read the DrupalLadder style guide (coming soon!)

Do you want to shout from the rooftops about DrupalLadder?

Use the hashtag on twitter: #DrupalLadder to announce events, share photos from events and help promote contribution.

Do you have a quick question or want to chat?

Do you want to run a Drupal Ladder sprint?

On http://groups.drupal.org/drupal-ladder you can get help and mentoring to find out how to run your own Drupal Ladder sprint, either a learning sprint or an issue sprint.

Want to report a bug you found on DrupalLadder.org?

On a lesson: Leave a comment

You can report problems with specific lessons in the comments on each lesson.

Write a clear report of what you found and any remedies you recommend.
Change the status, if neccessary, for example to “Needs revision.”

After you leave your comment, the lesson owner will roll in your changes and delete your comment after the problem is resolved. Or, your comment will be put into the DrupalLadder Issue queue to be assigned and completed.

On the site: Distribution Issue queue

The entire DrupalLadder site is available for download with the entire application, code and lesson content. If you find a problem with site content or functionality, you can file it as an issue within the project itself. The DrupalLadder distribution project page: http://drupal.org/project/drupalladder

On the issue queue for the distribution you can:
