Thanks Sally for bringing this topic. I am not sure, how frequent and effectively we (Com-Dev and other Apache projects) use this service.
I think, the purpose of our this service was, the new people to Apache can find the task in which they contribute. Also, the Apache projects can post the task in which they need help. Ideally, if someone new exploring the Apache, we have good page [1] for them to start. They can explore the projects at Apache [2] as mentioned in above page and then based on their interest and knowledge base they can select the project to contribute. As per my experience, most of the project now use JIRA [3] to maintain the task to be done and if new contributor joins the project, they can communicate on respective mailing lists and pick the task as per their interest from JIRA. So, we can rethink on how we want to proceed with our HelpWanted service. Please correct me if I missing any and share your thoughts.
