Suggestion: clearer entry path for non-technical newcomers #2228

Description

@Elianjiang

I am new to IPFS and come from a non-technical background. I spent some time reading the documentation to understand the project at a high level.

The documentation is very comprehensive and detailed, which I really appreciate. However, as a first-time reader, I found it a bit unclear where non-technical contributors should begin.

I would like to suggest adding a short entry section such as:
“New to IPFS? Start here”

This section could:

  • Briefly explain what IPFS is trying to solve
  • Point readers to 2–3 high-level overview pages
  • Clarify how non-technical contributors (documentation, community, coordination) can get involved

I think this would make the documentation more welcoming for newcomers and help lower the entry barrier for people without a technical background.
