[IAEP] Volunteering at Sugar - IEAP

[D. Joe]

This is a question that gets asked, and answered, recurrently.

What's not clear is why people cannot find the answer to this question in the main sugarlabs web page, but manage to find this mailing list?

For one of James's answers to this in the past, see, for example:

http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2019-November/057323.html

Rahul, one way you could help is by telling the list how you managed to find this list, but not find the information under "Join Us" at the main web site, https://www.sugarlabs.org/ ?

Did someone give you the address for this mailing list divorced from that other information? 

Did you click on the first entry in that section (community mailing lists) and then head straight to the first mailing list under General Lists? What was your path here such that you managed to avoid finding these resources?

While my experience has been that people are generous with their time fielding these sorts of questions, I also think many who are able to answer them might enjoy spending their time solving software problems.

If there's an unresolved documentation problem that we can address, though, that would be helpful.
