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.<br><br>Maybe supplement it with a "How can I help?" page - Here are some quick thoughts.<br>
<br>-----<br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br>
<br>Programmers - Join Development or start in Testing and gain familiarity with Sugar. Write and Sugarize Activities!<br><br>Parents - Try Sugar with your kid. Use your professional skills to help Sugar<br><br>Marketing Experts - Help desperately need on our Marketing Team help us tell the world about Sugar.<br>
<br>Graphic Artists - Help needed in Design and Marketing<br><br>Writing Skills? - Be a Wiki Gardner, help write Marketing Material, help write documentation<br><br>Translators - What languages do we especially need?<br><br>
---Other type of people/skills we want to list? Other tasks? Did every team get mentioned?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Dec 3, 2008 at 11:23 AM, Walter Bender <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:walter.bender@gmail.com">walter.bender@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
