Comment (by mt_suzette):

 Here is the discussion from #wordpress-sfd:

 mt_Suzette: Wouldn't be helpful to point /encourage people to contribute
 somewhere in WordPress itself? Like in the dashboard? or welcome screen?
 [1:55pm] Siobhan: I think there is something on the welcome screen
 [1:56pm] Siobhan: Maybe a Contribute link on the menu with the WordPress
 logo in the admin bar. That's probably one for the community group tho
 [1:57pm] DrewAPicture: That would be awesome
 [1:57pm] mt_Suzette: I looked on the Welcome Screen, I didn't see anything
 about how to get started contributing, just a link of where to start
 [1:57pm] mt_Suzette: (using WordPress)
 [1:57pm] Siobhan: hrm
 [1:57pm] Siobhan: Maybe raise a ticket on Trac? Make the suggestion?
 [1:58pm] DrewAPicture: It might be on credits page?
 [1:58pm] DrewAPicture: At the bottom of the credits tab: Want to see your
 name in lights on this page? Get involved in WordPress.
 [1:58pm] DrewAPicture: Links to
 http://codex.wordpress.org/Contributing_to_WordPress
 [1:59pm] Siobhan: The problem with that is, the credits tab is just core
 folks
 [1:59pm] Siobhan: And we don't want to indicate that people can get there
 by contributing to any area
 [2:01pm] mt_Suzette: I couldn't find the credits page, but I have seen it
 before
 [2:02pm] Siobhan: I can't find it either
 [2:03pm] JerrySarcastic: from the dashboard, click on the WordPress
 icon>About WordPress and then click on the tab Credits
 [2:04pm] JerrySarcastic: Easy, am I right?
 [2:04pm] Siobhan: are you ever wrong?
 [2:04pm] JerrySarcastic: Ask my lady...
 [2:04pm] mt_Suzette: Yes, I see it now, but that seems rather hidden
 [2:05pm] JerrySarcastic: That's an understatement.
 [2:05pm] DrewAPicture: I like the idea of a make.wordpress.org link in the
 W dropdown though.
 [2:05pm] DrewAPicture: Especially if we get a makeover on that page
 [2:05pm] Siobhan: yeah, that would be nice
 [2:05pm] JerrySarcastic: Esp. if it says something simple, like
 "Contribute" in teh dropdown
 [2:06pm] Siobhan: Alright - that's something we can all approve of
 [2:06pm] Siobhan: Someone open a ticket on trace?
 [2:06pm] Siobhan: ^trac
