David/Chirdeep, I think Donny's got the right idea though. I think the mission definitely needs to be highlights, but other items that are maybe usually smaller need more attention to really engage. I loved the fact of "Contributing for Non-commiters" and "events and meetups"
Being a non-coder, I never realized there was so many ways to be a part of the community and contribute to the community. I always assumed the "Open Source is for Coders". Past that download it, use it and then complain/rave about it. Thank you, Matt On Feb 20, 2013, at 6:40 PM, "David Nalley" <da...@gnsa.us> wrote: >> >> I'm not a Windows8 user, but..
