Join page changes

[Magnus Glantz]

I've given this a bit of thought.
As I see it, there may be two different kinds of standard "contribution
blocks" that we can choose to implement.

I've made two draft tables for the Docs projects.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Magnusg/Contribution_table_draft

Advanced option) One like the one's on the /Join page, containing all
information about what roles may perform what tasks in a sub-project.

Simpler option) The other one is to implement a simpler non-boarder
table, only displaying the role icons (which perhaps a link to the /Join
page or other page that explains further about example tasks).

Pro's and Con's.
Advanced option)
	Pro's) Makes it very clear how you can contribute to a 
	sub-project. You don't have to click any further. And every 
	extra click reduces the chances of people actually going ahead 
	to read further.
	Con's) Perhaps more work. Takes up more room on sub-projects 
	main pages.
Simpler option)
	Pro's) Easy to implement. Doesn't take much work or room on 
	sub-projects main pages.
	Con's) Doesn't explain how you may contribute without at least 
	one more click.
