Wikimedia Release Engineering Team/Onboarding/Chad

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.
