[IAEP] "Getting Involved", first draft

[Caroline Meeks]

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?
