Thanks carmie !

I like the idea of pictures. I think I prefere monochrome symbolic
icons as at the bottom of https://tails.boum.org/support/index.en.html

I tried to start grouping items to improve readeability
in doc/contribute-split branch. I'm not super-fan of my categories, but
I think the idea of categories is good. Here they are:

    There are many ways <strong>you</strong> can contribute to
    Tails:


    Have some time?


    - [[Report bugs|doc/first_steps/bug_reporting]]
    - [[Provide needed input to developers|contribute/how/input]]
    - [[Help other Tails users|contribute/how/help]]
    - [[Spread the word|contribute/how/promote]]


    Write well?
    - [[Improve documentation|contribute/how/documentation]]
    - [[Improve Tails in your own
    language|contribute/how/translate]]


    Know coding?
    - [[Fix a bug|contribute/how/code]]
    - [[Implement a new feature|contribute/how/code]]


    Have a server?
    - [[Setup a BitTorrent seed|contribute/how/mirror]]</li>
    - [[Setup a HTTP mirror|contribute/how/mirror]]


    Have money?
    - [[Make a donation|contribute/how/donate]]


Cheers
