It's about getting involved with the release team (probably something that most people will not want to do :P).</blockquote><div> 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!   </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> I totally agree that we should have a prominent "Getting involved" page which should point people to things like testing. I guess ideally this page would introduce the various teams and point to their main page? (each of the team pages has his own getting involved section).</blockquote><div> So in my explorations of 17 zillion getting involved pages I found this one. <a href="http://www.sugarlabs.org/go/Community/GettingInvolved">http://www.sugarlabs.org/go/Community/GettingInvolved</a> 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. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> The wiki is quite a mess right now. I think we need a much simpler landing page, with links about the most important things (Get sugar, Get involved, Submit bugs...). People can dig deeper from there. Now that we are trying to drag more external attention on the project, I think it's critical that the web site communicates effectively. Any volunter for a wiki re-org? :) I like a lot the team based approach that David proposed a while ago, but I think it's time for a big cleanup. I'd be glad to get involved in such an effort but I need to stay mainly focused on development and hence I would prefer if someone else could lead it.</blockquote><div> +1 </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Marco </blockquote></div> -- Caroline Meeks Solution Grove Caroline@SolutionGrove.com 617-500-3488 - Office 505-213-3268 - Fax
