Wikimedia Release Engineering Team/Onboarding/Chad

👋, Chad! We're glad you're back 💖

This is your reentrypoint into the wonderful and weird world of Wikimedia.

Remember that labyrinth of mailing lists, tasks, wikis, servers, and tools? They're all still here (and we've added a few new ones).

The expectations for this page:
 * Skim everything here within your first few days
 * Complete the 🇼 Foundation onboarding and 🧑‍💻 Technical onboarding checklists within your first week (or so)
 * Complete the 🐃 RelEng checklist within your first few weeks (or so)
 * Skim the readings and bookmarks within your first month (or so)
 * After you've done the 🧑‍💻 Technical onboarding you can jump into completing some tasks in 🔥 Next

The hope is that these checklists make navigating our shared world a little easier.
