Personalising the various function streams is an excellent idea. We are too used to faceless corporations. It would be a breath of fresh air.
The very fact that there are over 200 million users could make the prospect of contributing a little daunting, and I also think that many potential contributors would find it difficult to imagine anything they do ever reaching an audience of that size. How about a high level graphic showing how a change proposed by "little old me" finds its way to so many users.

Like, it's awesome having 200M+ users, but if few people contribute back, it's just a pretty number. So I've been looking at ideas to improve this page: https://eur06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.libreoffice.org%2Fcommunity%2Fget-involved%2F&data=02%7C01%7C%7C0e5ca58b8e8e4cd9c1d908d855702e41%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637353287578721326&sdata=CKIHgVQj8UY9y9%2FQ5ezpO5PrBLkPHzi%2FikuHawWmr7c%3D&reserved=0 IDEAS 1. For each sub-project, have a photo and name of a "contact person" (eg Heiko for Design, Xisco for QA etc.) The goal here is to make the sub-projects look more welcoming and friendly, and provide a place to start for newcomers. Of course, we don't want these "contact people" to be overloaded with questions from newcomers, but they can at least point newcomers to the right channels (Telegram, mailing lists etc.) 2. For each sub-project, add some specific tasks that people can do. So not just "join this community" (and then what?), but "join and get started straight away by doing X, Y or Z" 3. And also for each sub-project, add links to interviews with community members from the TDF blog. These often describe how someone got started in the community, and their experiences. What do you think? Are there other ways to improve the page?
