Add yourself to the bottom of the wiki here (people who want to volunteer):

One of these days I'm sure I'll go through it.
There is some one who has taken the initiative to work on a new Trisquel
site/forums:
http://trisquel-users.com/
It is mostly for demonstration purposes at the moment. We still need to write
up a proposal and talk to Rubén (founder and lead developer of the
distribution) about anything that really moves forward. We have been
discussing the needed features in a new site.
Here is where we have been discussing it:
https://trisquel.info/en/forum/add-sticky-post-forums-explaining-rules-please-please-please-please
We should probably start a new topic though... not sure how it ended up
continuing under that topic for so long.
Maybe you can contact the person who started it and work with them on
implementing the needed features. I'm pretty confident there is a lot we are
missing from the new site. Just taking a look over the old site and you can
see many of them.
Having something to show what the volunteers are capable of us is a good
start in getting a community organized. Right now we don't really have
anybody organizing anything. Rubén doesn't have the time for it and is
reluctant to hand control over to anybody. Completely understandable. Most
people don't have a commitment or the skills to really take over anything.
Amongst other reasons not to (there will at least be an increased workload to
transition to a new site for instance-or even just upgrade the current one).
We also have to make it work for Rubén in order for him to pawn it off on
some one else or a small team. Even if it goes nowhere I'm certainly going to
need help with ThinkPenguin as things move forward. We are working on a new
site as well. It's slow though. I don't think I've said this although I may
go looking through that list. I'd like to hire some one to help with the new
web site we're developing. I have someone doing the majority of it although
when he is done there is still going to be work to do... ongoing type stuff.
Right now I think the plan is to keep him on for at least a little while.
After that though I'm sure we will need some one. It is pure coincidence
Trisquel and ThinkPenguin are based on Drupal. Although it does make things
nice and convenient to anybody interested in getting into free software and
web development. There are other free software sites I believe which use
Drupal and Drupal as a platform is BIG. Really big.
If there are people who have shown commitment, ability, experience, etc it
would be a great opportunity to work with Trisquel, ThinkPenguin, and/or
others.
