Talk:Getting started programming

merge with Developers program

Actually I think that both pages are a good starting point for splitting (not necessarily merging) a small core of introductory pages. Documentation, comm channels, the Developers program itself, links to other existing pages somehow 'duplicate' (ie: contacts, mailing lists, etc.) --Xavi 02:57, 16 April 2007 (EDT)

The point of this page is to provide a single URL to which I can direct new developers. Diffusing the information across the wiki is not desirable. I need something that tells a new developer everything they need to know to get started in 15 to 20 minutes. I'd like to get Developers program trimmed down so that it only has the information about resources available from the project (and how to get access to them). Developers by contrast is intended to be the beginning of a developer's "guide" for getting started.
