Bug Description
As Steve Langasek, Scott Kitterman and others point out, e.g.:
https:/
we really need a Quick Start Guide and/or cheat sheet so that people who generally understand what's going on can have a very short document to refer to in their daily activities. As Steve says:
"The "quick start guide" should be the *first* place we direct new developers, with "would you like to know more?" links available for them to drill down into; and if more documentation needs to be added, it should be added on the individual detail pages."

I think it's important to provide a better way into Ubuntu development, which is why I'd like to raise the importance.
The question is: what do we want? My thinking is that a guide that tries to explain a lot in a short time might be hard to understand and depending on the use-case not really useful. A cheatsheet would be nice. What would it contain though?
Would it help to abuse the landing page as this cheatsheet and try for us to make that page more inviting/useful?
