Could we improve what we have in the wiki and refer people there?

I would add some more recommendations:

1. Introduce yourself to the community.
2. Don't leave questions without a reply.
3. Whenever you take a task that someone else was doing, mention it
explicitly so others aren't concerned about wasting efforts.
4. Ask when you don't understand.
5. Answer other people's questions when you can.

Tomeu
