Re: OPW ideas?

I think it would be great if someone took on Flavia's work on outreach. 
She gathered great information on newcomers characteristics and I think 
we should definitely use this knowledge :) From Flavia's last report, an 
intern could evaluate and (re)design our ways to reach each of the 
newcomer types mentioned. This would include, I guess:

* restructuring the "Get Involved" session on the website
* creating/improving promotion material for events,
* a health check on the wiki pages for each team (checking for clear 
directions for where to start, outdated material),
* promotion, in general (reaching social media, IRC meeting on 
#gnome-love perhaps...)
* improving/promoting /GnomeIrcChannels with operational and "etiquette" 
tips - some newcomers still get really confused with IRC, it seems,
* etc, there's plenty of room of getting creativity in action here.

Also, regardless of what the intern would work on, I'd be happy to help 
an intern with anything related to the website.
