Hi Craig

One thing that we have done in OFBiz is that when a contributor requests access 
to our wiki, we ask them to complete an ICLA before the access request is 
processed. This has helped to capture people who for example want to create 
documentation.

We have setup a page with some basic explanations of what an ICLA is and why we 
are asking them to sign one.

https://s.apache.org/NrGP

As well as setting them up with wiki access, we flag them in our Jira as part 
of a contributor group where they can then actually start assigning tasks 
(including the non technical ones) to themselves. 

Perhaps this could be one of the potential suggestions that we could include 
for projects.

Thanks
Sharan
