Where can new Taskwarrior users find getting-started help and documentation?

Updated

New users should start at the Taskwarrior homepage (taskwarrior.org), which has a "New User? Start here..." entry point. From there, the site points to three main resources: the online documentation for learning, the support page for help, and the FAQ for curated questions and answers. Taskwarrior is Free and Open Source Software that manages your TODO list from the command line.

The homepage describes Taskwarrior as flexible, fast, and unobtrusive: it does its job, then gets out of your way. It works from the command line, so the documentation and FAQ are the natural places to learn commands and resolve early confusion.
