I think a lot of people raise their hand to volunteer with the expectation that there will be a lot of mentoring, task assignments and that sort of thing. We do not have experienced people to do mentoring to that level. I am not a tech writer. I am a Manufacturing Engineer that has written some technical documentation as a part of my job. As far as task assignments I believe that each contributor knows best there strengths and are better able to know what they might be best at. If someone wants to take on the task of handing out assignments for new volunteers I think that could be a help. Given the recent level of activity, I am cautiously optimistic that we may see some more forward momentum. Regards Keith
