Could the intention be conveyed better by changing "Get involved" to
something else? "How can I help?" was proposed, but I think we need to
be careful not to mislead people seeking help files (and consider

yes.
I thought about this some more and I came to the conclusion that we
should encourage the translators to think of the best expression fitting
their language and cultural context.
Getting back to English, we had
- "How can I help?"
- "Join us" (from Cathy)
Today I got the idea of "Volunteer work". It is a bit long and would
need some technical work on the menu styles, but it is unambiguous
(plain language). We do want to target volunteer contributors with this,
right? It can be read as either a noun or a suggestive verb and in both
cases the visitor understands what sort of content is found behind the
menu item.
In the "Get involved" page itself
http://www.libreoffice.org/community/get-involved/ should we have a
short piece that sells the idea of contributing? Ie. make everything
as
explicit as possible instead of "here are our teams, you know the
rest,
right?". There could be a general bit to draw the visitor in and then
the individual team entries could be finessed until they are at the
absolute peak of comprehensibility.
What about a 30 sec video on each topic of the page?
Yeah, in the style of the LibO Animation from 2014 :)

I am able to edit the page contents and if something in the layout
needs
changing I can handle it with the admin.
The liberOffice website contents changes should, IMHO, be in synch with
the Marketing group as well as with connections to the National
Languages projects.
Yep, it is my intention to talk to marketing before changing stuff.
