Wow! That is a good question. yesterday I pressed the Green navbar "Getting
Involved" and got to that page. I just assumed there was one "getting
involved page" and that all links that looked exactly same and were in
exactly the same place all actually went to the same page (silly me!).  ;)
Today I'm trying to repeat my path and I see that there are many getting
involved pages under different sections of the site.  I can't figure out how
I got to the one I edited yesterday!

So in my explorations of 17 zillion getting involved pages I found this one.

http://www.sugarlabs.org/go/Community/GettingInvolved

This is a start.

The Sugar philosophy is we start with simple tools but allow students to
progress to very complex levels.  The volunteer philosophy should mirror
that.  We should have simple ways to help and get started and clear paths
towards people becoming deeply involved using complex skills and talents.
