There are lots of resources on the WCC website https://www.waverleycameraclub.org. In particular have a look at the resources page from the top menu https://www.waverleycameraclub.org/resources/ where there are a number of documents on how to do things.
If you are planning to enter club competitions, you will find the rules and instructions on file format at https://www.waverleycameraclub.org/competitions/rules/. If you want help getting your image into the right size and file name structure, I have made a simple web program to assist: http://austvic.com/wcc/ This will resize your image to be compatible with the competition requirements and assist in getting the correct file name format.
Here is a random collection of resources – I am using this post as a dropbox for useful things that I might incorporate into future (and already made) posts.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raw_image_format includes discussion of what RAW files are, benefits and drawbacks, software support including list of free and open source software and proprietary (usually not free) sofware.
