Moving link to Google Groups into Frequently_Asked_Questions

I'm moving the link to the Google Groups to Frequently_Asked_Questions because it seems to be underutilized. As well, since it's under the first "about us series" pages, we shouldn't send people to an underutilized forum and this might cause them to think that the forums are dead.

Further Improvements for Newbies

#archiveteam-bs 2026-03-08 (logs[IAWcite.today]):

2026-03-08T21:09:21Z <systwi_> klea: I just saw your revision comment on my Topics of Archiving Interest page. I think there already exists a "how to help" page.
2026-03-08T21:10:10Z <systwi_> On the wiki's home page: [Who We Are](https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/Who_We_Are) and how you can join our cause!
2026-03-08T21:10:46Z <systwi_> It's not as fleshed-out (nor as obvious, I feel) for how newcomers can assist.
2026-03-08T21:11:12Z <systwi_> ...but it does mention the AT IRC channels.
2026-03-08T21:12:09Z <klea> I think [[Who We Are]] could use some help in describing Who AT is, and there should be separate how to help page, explicitly stating, help us with warriors, writers, and try to find old obscure stuff that might be likely to disappear and tell us about it.
2026-03-08T21:13:25Z <systwi_> I agree with that.
2026-03-08T22:40:11Z <danceswithpixels> klea & systwi_: this is extremely timely as I've been lurking for the last two days trying to figure out this exact process myself. A mentorship or dedicated names of people to contact as a newbie would be helpful too. It makes asking questions and getting started less intimidating.
