Start

Choose what you have.

You do not need to understand the whole machine.

Start with what you already have: a problem, a source, a skill, a useful group, or attention.

Raw submissions enter review before anything becomes public.

Most people should start with one of two things: a local problem or a public source. If you are not sure, send the smallest proof you have. A reviewer can route it.
