This is a VERY good point. Even as a 'returning' occasional contributor I've found it quite frustrating, when I want to 'touch base' with the community again, log in to IRC and there are a lot of names on the list but nobody says hello. It's very weird, like being in a ghost town or a room full of store mannikins. It is really not a pleasant experience.
I suspect that like the mailing lists, fewer, properly attended IRC channels would be better.

Hello everybody, i have written the emails about this pionts... newcomers and participate and so on.... So first to me: I am german openSUSE-User since the version 7.2 so round about 10 years, and i want many times to participate to opensuse-project, but how?? I ´ve read the Wiki with "How to participate..." but i didn´t know how. I subcribe mailing- lists ... and read them the first times, but it didn´t tell me were i can start... We must take Newcomer by hand and show then How... So i ´ve got an idea.... we got to get a plan for that... Somebody from the lang time MEMBERS, should do this... A Newcomer must get a plan to get participate on opensuse-project: 1. A List of few MEMBERS (with emailadresses) which can be contact by newcomer 2. They (Members) should check up his Skills and what he want do (packaging, wiki, documentation..) in the project. 3. Then send him to contcact a Team (Teamleader), were he want to go or where is good for him to go 4. This Plan Step-by-Step must be in the Wiki by "How to be Participate!" Is this difficult, to do this in future?
