In addition to sites such as brainstorm, the forums, the wiki and others a lot of great sites like
http://loco.ubuntu.com/ are arising as gateways for Ubuntu users to cooperate on making the distro better. However fewer users than what you may think know about this sites and there really isn't a proper way to find about all of them.
Solution #2:
Community portal, managed by the community

There should be a community.ubuntu.com website, managed by the community, with a homepage that reemplace the following redondant pages : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/, http://www.ubuntu.com/community. It would act as a portal to all community websites. There should be a page for the support (lets say http://community.ubuntu.com/support) that merges those pages :http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community and https://help.ubuntu.com/community and gives direct links to forums, IRC, etc.
Solution #3:
Add a 'community button' on the top panel or link to community at Help

Having this button or links will eventually introduce new users to the community. The links can be localised according to whatever language the user is operating on.
This will also inform the OEM users and others who didn't watch the installation slide show of community.

Specification is here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WeMenu
"The WeMenu is the focal point for community on the Ubuntu desktop. It is a highly visible place containing persons and groups that are central to the Ubuntu experience and ethos. It is outward looking, but human centric. It focuses our attention on people, beginning with those closest to us."

Solution #6:
ubuntu software center shops
a group that is working on software could make a shop in the ubuntu software center. when a user searches by shop in the ubuntu software center they will be able to get a list of the apps in that shop, a list of the workers in that shop, info on the shop like a link to there website.
when the owner of the shop creates a shop it will create a ubuntu one account for the shop where the programs/projects are stored so all the workers in the shop can work on them.
we could have an easy ubuntu app develoment program that would make building the app and publishing the app to the shop as easy as pressing a publish button on the app development program.
