So twitter's spam protection kicked in and I can not answer all the people who contacted me about #TestingTheMerge, so I need to publish the message I'm sending everyone here:
Hey,
Great that you're interested in joining the testing efforts.
I'm a bit overwhelmed with the amount of responses I got, so I'm currently thinking about how to onboard so many new people to get them started as smoothly as possible.
I'll try to create three different classes of tasks; for users/non-technical testers, for technical testing and for testers that are very familiar with the inner workings of ethereum.
This might take me a couple of days, but you can follow the progress here: hackmd.io/WKpg6SNzQbi1jV….
A great first step is to startup a node and join the testnet, preliminary documentation for that is here: hackmd.io/dFzKxB3ISWO8ju…
(will be cleaned up and extended soon, hopefully by some of you!).
Till then you could already join the Ethereum R&D discord (discord.gg/ymADJTVUY5) which is used by the Core Devs to discuss technical topics.
We will mainly use the #testing channel in the #merge category to discuss.
Please keep chatter on there to a minimum as a lot of people are reading it.
Cool to have you joining!
Best, Marius

Program start out great already, we have over 150 participants. And first docs have been written already! Thanks to @parithosh_j for providing the docker and @lakshmansankar for the MacOS section in the "How to join the devnet" document: hackmd.io/dFzKxB3ISWO8ju…
#TestingTheMerge
Missing part of this document: Instructions for windows and other EL's and CL's. Also looking for someone to write an explanation on how to connect metamask to your local node, get some money from the faucet and send transactions on the devnet.
Adding a new network to met@mask:
Go to the bottom, click on `add Network`
Name: Devnet-1
RPC-URL: http://localhost:8545
Chain-ID: 1337402
Now you can get some funds from the faucet: faucet.merge-devnet-1.wenmerge.dev
(Looking for someone to turn this into a nice looking blog post)

Testing is the best way to contribute to #Ethereum. We are starting a new program to get the community involved in testing the merge.

If you want to do your part in getting Ethereum to Proof of Stake as soon as possible and save the environment, #dm me Image
Can someone turn this into a readable document for getting users connected to the devnet? I'm formulating a document and it would be great to have some starting resources for people to connect to the devnet
