> advertising

I am not sure if it's a problem with advertising or a problem with retention. I fear there may be many initially-eager learners who drop out.


I think smoothing the learning curve will keep more people interested for longer, then more likely to help in projects. This is why I would love to help organise and simplify the main website as one step towards this.


> volunteer organizing side

We have some great volunteers who probably don't realise they are volunteers. I have been kindly helped by uncountable individuals already.


I think a more formalised/explicit/organised mentoring process might help bring the community closer together. It might help retain more learners and form more invested friendships.

I have some vague ideas (mostly about organizing), but I would love to hear more concrete offerings (as have been presented in this thread so far) first.  I find the advertising and volunteer organizing side to be much more difficult.
