Sorry, I didn't take the time to look at who you were suggesting.  I still 
don't believe that the board should be adding members to itself without an 
election, whether they can or not.  I think actions like that leave too 
much room for cronyism in the future.

As for getting people involved, perhaps posting to this list?  I realize 
it's hard to find tasks that someone might be able to pick up and do, but 
it is usually worthwhile in the end.  Perhaps a "TODO" list on 
live.gnome.org of things that the board is planning on doing, and will do, 
but if someone wants to beat them to it :)  Perhaps something in the 
meeting minutes?
