Editing The Portal Group Onboarding

==== How do I access the other Discord channels? ====
New members are limited to posting in the ''#lobby-and-introductions'' channel. If you demonstrate an interest in making or contributing, or show something you've previously made, you may receive access to the rest of the server.

If you don't have much to show, consider [[Portal Wiki|contributing to the wiki]]. We aim to aggregate [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agentic_leadership agentic people], who take lead with their work and show instead of tell with minimal outside direction, and can also collaborate with others.

==== How can I contribute? ====
The Portal Group is not here to tell you what to do, it is here to remove obstacles and make your work easier. Veteran members of the community, who have contributed to a project or accomplished an ambitious task, are to be sought out for advice. Those who do work are quickly integrated.

The only "hard" requirement for any project is that it should be in line with the goals of the Portal, as best outlined in [[2: What is The Portal#What The Portal is About|Episode 2]] and [[18: Slipping the DISC: State of The Portal/Chapter 2020|Episode 18]] or in the [[The Portal Projects Group#Telos|telos]] above. 

There is much freedom in selecting your approach these goals, but the ones that tend to last are overall simple. An idea's simplicity does not imply it is unintelligent or incapable, but rather it has a large impact relative to its underlying assumptions and complexity in execution.

==== How shouldn't I contribute? ====
Conversation without aim distracts from productivity, so we keep open conversation limited to specific areas on the server. We aim to exclude disruptive behavior, that which distracts or is disrespectful to members.

Additionally, if your ideas cannot be given a strong form or body, then they cannot act on the world. We wish to focus on ideas that provide high leverage relative to the work put in and avoid areas that don't. Areas that especially don't pay off include arbitrary crypto schemes or the purchase of an island.
