How about a site where you can sign up as want-to-be-contributor, and specifying your main abilities/interests, i.e programming(language), ui-tester, translator, etc. The site could then make suggestions on what you could be interested in helping. People already helping could also use it for finding contributors to their own projects.

Moreover, this idea could be thought as a mayor revamp/improvement in the community/participate section of the ubuntu site.]]> Sun, 29 Jun 2008 08:08:27 +0000 Please see: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/5991/

B could be either a physical person or just a human-resources-assigner-process.]]> Sun, 29 Jun 2008 10:54:18 +0000 Sun, 29 Jun 2008 17:09:08 +0000 Sun, 29 Jun 2008 17:36:09 +0000 Do not ask what Ubuntu can do for you, but ask what you can do for Ubuntu.

Anyhow I already said I like the idea.


Pasto, I also TRY to help improving the Ubuntu in my small design way, and would love to have the opportunity to work IN A TEAM on a designated site, where any kind of developers, translators, designers, etc can work on ideas or applications centralized and clean.

I'm also +1-nig.]]> Sun, 29 Jun 2008 20:25:12 +0000 Mon, 30 Jun 2008 12:01:58 +0000
The forms of participation you have mentioned are already available - but you have to hunt around quite a bit to find them.
Most people might not even imagine they are present.
The sooner a person sees what can be done, the sooner they may start thinking "Well, what can I do?".
Hidden away - it'll take a long time.

All sections where participation is possible, could have the same submenu with links to the other sections. That way it becomes very easy to find out the broad range of involvement possible.

Would you like to have a link to the "participate" section, in the Brainstorm menu?

My opinion is;
"Please Brainstorm and Ubuntu webmasters - Please put more cross links in your web pages, to aid the (objectives/purpose for visit) navigation of these web sites."

I'd work this idea out and create a separate site for it. Later on integration using APIs would be perfect. However, a concern in my eyes is how to show someone's potential. Letting people know your level of C is moderate is easy, but how do you qualify yourself as someone that has enough skills to join e.g. the Ubuntu BugControl team?]]> Sun, 03 Aug 2008 15:41:38 +0000
