Add a "Getting Started" checklist

Description

We have a bit of a start on this in the "Starting an Open Source Project at Eclipse" section, but it's pretty high level and glosses over detail.

Further, having a more comprehensive check list gives us an opportunity to ensure that projects get off on the right foot.

Entries in the list should include:

  • Ensure that all project committers have an Eclipse Foundation account;

After provisioning:

  • Set up legal documentation (LICENSE.TXT) and about files;
  • Add a CONTRIBUTING document;
  • Upload your project logo
