Primers

Primers are designed to provide detailed overviews and answers to concepts of a limited scope. For example, the Gentoo Developer Primer is designed to be a 'master overview' of many (sometimes optional) steps a developer must take to quickly familiarize themself with the many faucets of developer resources. It attempts to explain where and how to setup developer accounts on official Gentoo infrastructure, software tools to help accomplish general tasks such as communication, and suggestions on password management utilities and shells.
