@Martin: maybe this should be part of the "ambassador" type program? No reason we couldn't have online ambassadors, as opposed to regional.

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.
