I spoke with @viswanathamsantosh, @bacharakis, and Lucy Harris earlier and we discussed some of the ways we could improve the getting started process:

Some concrete next steps were:

1. have a dedicated getting started doc that was as focused as possible
2. have an activity for understanding how the debugger works "debugging the debugger"

Here is a branch where i started working on a dedicated getting started doc and activity doc.

Note, that it's lots of rough ideas and needs lots of polish. I'm hoping you guys could help with this.

Also, it's fine to land a better getting started doc and then an activity doc. It doesn't have to be grouped.

@clarkbw, @wldcordeiro, @Garbee I know you have lots of expertise here as well!
