The new getting involved page is nice but it doesn't really address the naive visitor's question of "I want to help, what should I do?" It seems Sugar Labs Centric not volunteer Centric.
Maybe supplement it with a "How can I help?" page - Here are some quick thoughts. ----- Teachers - Join the education or deployment team and help us apply Sugar to learning in your subject and/or geographical areas. Try Sugar with your students. Middle and High School Students - Join the Testing team, learn how to use, test and if you want even develop Sugar. Report bugs and help write documentation. Programmers - Join Development or start in Testing and gain familiarity with Sugar. Write and Sugarize Activities! Parents - Try Sugar with your kid. Use your professional skills to help Sugar Marketing Experts - Help desperately need on our Marketing Team help us tell the world about Sugar. Graphic Artists - Help needed in Design and Marketing Writing Skills? - Be a Wiki Gardner, help write Marketing Material, help write documentation Translators - What languages do we especially need? ---Other type of people/skills we want to list? Other tasks? Did every team get mentioned?
