Hi Praj,
The work of the PPD team is shifting to evangelism and marketing
activities -- this is where we need the most help. Some thoughts about
PPD related projects you could start on/contribute to:
- Create a demo script and/or a screencast of a demo
- Get testimonials from users: text and/or video
- Answer questions of users on the users list and/or on IRC
- Write blog posts about Chandler and/or comment on other blogs
- Write up feedback from users on the new website designs that Mimi is
working on (once she sends them out)
- Wiki gardening (maintaining and cleaning up the wiki)
- User documentation
Several of these projects assume that you are familiar with Chandler and
using it regularly -- so that is perhaps a first step.
The PPD team is also taking on more QA responsibilities. Another project
would be to figure out how to get more community help from people doing
testing, and how to make that help more efficient -- writing up test
scripts that people can follow, figuring out mechanisms for people to
share information about what they have tested, etc.
These projects might not line up exactly with your previous experience,
but they are the kind of help needed at this time. Do any of them sound
interesting to you?
You could also propose other evangelism/marketing related projects.
Cheers,
Katie

Maybe what it is is that I'm trying to figure out how to get involved in
the Chandler project in terms of PPD. Professionally I work as a product
manager in a software company.
I'm trying to get involved in that capacity in Chandler. Maybe I'm not
sure how to be more direct about my intention. Help?

Hi Praj,
This is a rather open-ended question so I'm afraid the best answer I
can offer is pretty high-level.
The strategy is based on user feedback, interviewing users who are
currently active in the community, metrics generated from the Hub
service and user profiles we've built up over the past 3-5 years of
interviewing and observing potential users.
It also has a healthy dose of reality in terms of what we can
accomplish in the next 6-9 months given the resources available to us
and what the developers are most excited about working on.
Best,
Mimi
