Comment (by jpantani):

 @oglekler and crew - thanks for getting this under my eyes and
 highlighting some of the opportunities that exist for leveling up the
 content here.

 What I was able to gather from this thread is that we'd like to get a
 section that actively speaks to folks about getting them excited to 'Get
 involved and contribute. And to do so in a way that's consistent with
 [brand voice and writing
 style]https://make.wordpress.org/marketing/handbook/resources/style-guide-
 and-brand-book/

 I recommend an overhaul of the copy to help accomplish that. It's not a
 huge overhaul, but it is one that adds charm and familiarity. I also noted
 that turning some of the text into paragraphs was a request, and this
 proposal has a good bit of sentence structure built into it.

 [Here's my draft]https://docs.google.com/document/d/1F2-75YqtZ2
 -15DWiNEc0Q6XYg0d-KS7tBFZlpkATbyk/edit, which I can then work into actual
 copy changes. (it's open to all for commenting)

 I'm recommending these changes to bring a strong sense of energy and think
 of it as recruitment e.g. "Join our club. There's room for you and your
 talents!" I aim to reach people's sense of purpose and belonging. So I
 really leaned into that while making sure things remained on brand.

 My proposed next steps are to have a brief comment period for, let's say,
 the next week (July 3/4) or so and then commit these things for Beta 3 or
 July 11 if that works for everyone. Does that work for folks so we can
 move forward?
