Handbook updates for people starting with support

@jerrysarcastic elaborated on his idea from last week. Elaborated as in really provided a detailed description of what he meant and the goal is. 😉 This topic would be great for a make/support post and Jerry has said that he’ll create one there.

The discussion focused on the goal for updating the handbook for users to begin providing support and those users are not moderators or experienced users/developers. This is to include working examples along the lines of http://breakfix.elftest.net/

I think it’s a great idea and begins to head into knowledge base territory. That’s a big task but a section like that would really help people get started and be a great resource for any WordCampWordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They're one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what they’ve learned throughout the year and share the joy. Learn more. Contributor DayContributor Day Contributor Days are standalone days, frequently held before or after WordCamps but they can also happen at any time. They are events where people get together to work on various areas of https://make.wordpress.org/ There are many teams that people can participate in, each with a different focus. https://2017.us.wordcamp.org/contributor-day/ https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/getting-started/getting-started-at-a-contributor-day/..

I’m really looking forward to Jerry’s post as well as feedback from the support community.
