The new getting involved page is nice but it doesn't really address the naive visitor's question of "I want to help, what should I do?"  It seems Sugar Labs Centric not volunteer Centric. Maybe supplement it with a "How can I help?" page - Here are some quick thoughts. ----- Teachers - Join the education or deployment team and help us apply Sugar to learning in your subject and/or geographical areas.  Try Sugar with your students. Middle and High School Students - Join the Testing team, learn how to use, test and if you want even develop Sugar.  Report bugs and help write documentation. Programmers - Join Development or start in Testing and gain familiarity with Sugar.  Write and Sugarize Activities! Parents - Try Sugar with your kid.  Use your professional skills to help Sugar Marketing Experts - Help desperately need on our Marketing Team help us tell the world about Sugar. Graphic Artists - Help needed in Design and Marketing Writing Skills? - Be a Wiki Gardner, help write Marketing Material, help write documentation Translators - What languages do we especially need? ---Other type of people/skills we want to list? Other tasks?  Did every team get mentioned? <div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Dec 3, 2008 at 11:23 AM, Walter Bender <<a href="mailto:walter.bender@gmail.com">walter.bender@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div class="Ih2E3d">On Wed, Dec 3, 2008 at 11:03 AM, Greg Dekoenigsberg <<a href="mailto:gdk@redhat.com">gdk@redhat.com</a>> wrote: > > <a href="http://sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Labs/GettingInvolved" target="_blank">http://sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Labs/GettingInvolved</a> > > Here's what I did: > > 1.
