Hi Robert,

Nice to see you here.

I would be pleased to help you joining our group (same for other incomers, uh)!
Since you know php, I think you'll soon get python skills. Indeed our
websites are built using HTML/CSS and the Genshi python framework for
internationalization.
The websites design was done using 960 grid system[1], so you'll see
many divs in our sources.

To get started, you need:
- to clone our repo. See [2];
- join the web FAS group (this won't give you commit access but you'll
get commit messages). The gitfedora-web group is the one giving git
push access, and it depends of the web one. We will see later to give
you this access when you will get more comprehension about our
architecture. I would prefer to speak through irc (freenode,
#fedora-websites) by that time.
- Start working on tickets, see easyfix[3] or our Trac[4], and send
your patches here.

Please ask if you have any queries, here or on the websites irc channel.

@Sijis, I don't think we currently have a better start page than[2], I
will add the infra part, for people to know how the build/staging
process works. (If I don't forget…)
