Create 'Community' Section

Problem/Motivation

Currently, the Community section is a combination of:
- Information on how to contribute to Drupal
- Information on how to connect with the community
These two things are somewhat connected, of course, but really it's two different types of information that people are seeking in this section, and it's so disorganized and un-focused, it's hard to find either.

Proposed resolution

Separate the information currently under Community (including the Getting Involved Guide) into a Community section and a Contribute section. The Contribute section is being handled on related issue #1414988: [Meta/Plan] Create a new Getting Involved Guide section → .

Content of the section

For the Community section, particularly, we want to have it cover:

• How to find and talk to Drupal community
• How to find Local and Interest User Groups
• How to find Organizations
• IRC, Slack, and Rocket chat
• Forums?
• Events: user group meetings, regional camps, DrupalCon
• Community structure -- move the "Governance" and "Code of Conduct" sections (currently hidden in "About Drupal" and "Getting Involved Guide") into a new "Community Structure" book, modeled after the Ubuntu Community Structure page: http://community.ubuntu.com/community-structure/

Tone of the section

While doing this, we need to make sure this section:

• Welcomes everyone, especially non-US audiences and people from our fastest-growing regions
• Works for and appeals to non-developers as well as developers
• Makes sure everyone feels that they are a valued part of the community
• Doesn't assume everyone wants to contribute (time, money, or skills)
• Fits all level personas: Newcomer, Learner, Skilled, Expert

Design of the landing page and sub-page

We may also want to include photos, which can be found at:

Layout ideas for the landing page:

• Sketch from @lisarex on #27: https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/image_25.jpg →
• Patch from @Bladwin (and others), which wouldn't apply now; resulted in image in #35: https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/drupalorg-community.png →

Visibility

It would be really cool if in the future, as part of the on-boarding process, when a user signs up for a drupal.org account the email they get could:
- Point them to the new Contribute section (and Community section once that's done too)
- Link to videos about the benefits of connecting to the community and contributing
- Get a short list of ideas of where to start [although if the Contribute section is really good, maybe that would be a better place to go for this?]
- Then maybe after someone makes their first comment in a forum or on groups.drupal.org, we send a "Hey, thanks for commenting, here's some things you should know about how the community works" email

Remaining tasks

1. Audit the current content of Community and Getting Involved -- this was done as part of #1414988: [Meta/Plan] Create a new Getting Involved Guide section → and is currently residing in a spreadsheet at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vbIdtL-HAPK3bqiCamRIak048fcEqaWP...
2. From that audit, take out the pages that should be in Community and put them under the Community section.
3. Create the new Community Structure section (see Proposed Resolution)
4. Create a landing page for the Community section that provides short descriptions of the various ways to connect to the community (see Proposed Resolution), and links to the appropriate pages
5. Clean up, edit, and remove duplications in these pages

User interface changes

Better Community section that connects people with the community in various ways.
