New resource: Summary Guide for Navigating OpenMRS Resources.

Hey OpenMRS Community!

As a new contributor, one challenge i faced was figuring out where to start in what order to visit the many OpenMRS resources available. I wasted some time in randomly jumping from one page to another and sometimes missing crucial steps but only realizing it much later which meant going back and sometimes over and over again.

I suspect that i was not the only one affected, so i decided to do something about it.

So have taken time to visit the OpenMRS resources and what services they provide, just published a summery guide for new contributors on the Wiki at https://openmrs.atlassian.net/wiki/x/DIDiNQ

It provides a structured roadmap on how to navigate OpenMRS resources in a table format listing every key OpenMRS resources/ site in recommended order of access, their URLs, a a reason why a new contributor should visit it. It covers everything from Setting up OpenMRS ID, requesting access, Joining Community on Talk, Slack, and IRC, finding an introductory ticket, technical setup up to Staying connected.

This is my first documentation contribution to OpenMRS and i would love feedback from experienced contributors especially if their are resources i have left out, steps that should be re-ordered or others that are outdated and should be removed.

Hope this will be of help to some very soon. @nankundal
