It sounds like some kind of landing page for volunteering would be great, as well as improving the team pages for volunteering. Here's what I can dig up for our general volunteering pages: https://www.libreoffice.org/get-involved/ (too much text!) Here are our current QA landing/volunteer pages: http://qa.libreoffice.org/ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/GetInvolved https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugTriage If someone ends up on the front page of our wiki, there's no obvious "Get Involved" button: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Main_Page The Feedback page (also mentioned at our last QA meeting) should point somewhere -- either to the QA volunteering page or the general volunteering page. To promote the community aspect, it would be great to have a set of videos somewhere that introduced the members of our community -- "Hi, my name is Joel, and I'm a member of the QA Team"... "Hi, my name is Markus, and I hack on LibreOffice"...etc. A little multimedia can make our site look a lot more dynamic. For example, let's look at Mozilla's sexy get-involved page for volunteers: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/contribute/ Another thought: We should have some kind of consistent branding that we can use across all of our pages targeted at (new) volunteers. --R -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: website+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/website/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
