I was thinking of web resources.   So overall the page lists tasks and
skills, and also the resources needed to learn how to perform those
tasks: web resources and experts/mentors in the project.

Hi Rob and all others.
Impossible to edit the page after being connected to the wiki: don't know
why 
Anyway, I wanted to add something like the following, in marketing :
"improving the general aspect of visual application elements composing Aoo
screens, in order to improve the readability of menus, buttons, pages
tools, ..."
If this have an interest for somebody who have access to edit mode, then,
add it into the table ... or let me know why the availability of Edit mode
has not reach my brain yet ...
Have pleasant moments,
Antoine

Skills, Resources and Mentors

2013-09-30 Thread Rob Weir
This projects depends on volunteer efforts.  We have many routine
tasks that need to be performed during a release cycle and even during
ordinarily operation of our website and other public-facing services.

In many cases a given task is well-understood and many members of the
project understand how to do it.  For example, moderating the mailing
lists.  In other areas we might only have a single person who really
understands how to do a task.   We also have many volunteers, signing
up on the mailing list and asking how to help, on nearly a daily
basis.

There should be a way that we can more clearly identify what the
routine tasks are, who knows how to do them, who wants to learn how to
do them, and who is willing to mentor or teach others how to get
started.

So I've started the following wiki page to track some of the most
common tasks in the project:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Skills,+Resources+and+Mentors

Feel free to insert additional tasks, or to add your name as an
expert, mentor or someone who wants to learn.

(Of course there are many other routine tasks performed by Apache
Infra and not listed here.  I'm focused on the tasks that are owned by
the AOO project)

This might also help is identify areas where we are currently
dependent on a single person and want to train a backup, to cover for
holidays, etc.

Regards,

-Rob
