I follow this project closely and find it quite interesting, but i'm way too new in Debian, and too bad at organising, to volunteer. I have some ideas though, see below :) >> >> I can't volunteer myself (sorry about that), but I think the most >> pressing need is sending out a call for project proposals *specifically* >> aimed at attracting submissions of non-development tasks.

Here are some non-development tasks that pop to mind: * a complete artwork for the next release (the specifications are listed quite precicely[1], so the task is already defined). * something to do with translation? Maybe some from the translation teams could come up with specific tasks that could be done by a newcomer, interesting both for the applicant and for Debian? That would require the chosen language translation team to be available for helping the applicant. * a new CSS for debian.org (i guess this one will start some trolling around). * testing a defined number of bugreports marked "moreinfo" or "unreproductible", and providing feedback to the maintainers. Those should probably be chosen with a team that has some idea of what kind of testing they need, and are available to answer questions. * if someone has ideas of missing documentation, writing some could be a useful task :) [1] https://wiki.debian.org/DebianDesktop/Artwork/Requirements Some of those ideas are probably crazy, or impossible to realise without adequate mentors, but it might inspire someone :) > Miriam Ruiz: > There's a lot of things to do, both regarding infrastructure and > understanding of kids.

I'd love to see it happen and propose it to children around me :) Solveig -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-women-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
