Inspired by Sander recently, I reviewed the docs we send when onboarding
new community members. First impressions can set a tone for newcomers.
Looking at the actual ways we welcome them was a bit disappointing -
lots of jargon, minor inconsistencies, and random .txt files in svn.

While I've contributed to many individual content docs here, researching
the whole onboarding process made me realize we still have a way to go
in truly being welcoming and consistent to newcomers. I'd love to see
other folks help with doc and process updates in the appropriate places
so we can do a better job helping contributors understand the ASF.
