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.

Hi all,
We discussed improving the How to Participate page during the IRC meeting today. I just wanted to throw this out to the list as a discussion starter.
The page I'm referring to is here: http://en.opensuse.org/How_to_Participate
The page is a good start, but we need to make it more friendly, and easier to get information from more quickly.
Also -- I see that the page is only available in five languages -- this is something else we need to work on, as we definitely want to have the page text available in more languages.
Some of the ideas discussed during the meeting:
* Videos * Storyboards * Improving the text on the page
Other thoughts?
Best,
