I think we need to start at the foundation and build up though (I
think I'm in agreement with Diego here). Before we create a website
(or add to the existing one) we need to ensure that each team has a
set of concrete tasks that new contributors can work on. We will then
need to maintain this task list so the website doesn't get stale. I
believe that Tiffany was working in this area, and it would be good to
pick it up; maybe we could have a process where we review each team to check that they have relevant tasks for new contributors.
tl;dr: I like the general premise a lot, and think we should do some
groundwork first. A good first step would be to review what
opportunities there are and identify any blank spots.
