Hi all,
I think that one feature we are missing here is that usually people fell unsecure to start sharing ideas after reading some pages with general directions on how to participate. One thing I saw on KDE webpage and I tough it would be good was the mentor program, where they have some volunteers responsible on initianting the new comers. Maybe openSuSE should try something like this. Get 1 mentor for each main area (translation, developement, testing...) and maybe people will feel more confortable if they have someone to show them around.
Totally agreed. We sorely need a mentor program for new contributors. @Martin: maybe this should be part of the "ambassador" type program? No reason we couldn't have online ambassadors, as opposed to regional.
