Hi all, wouldn't it be good to have a series of
organizational/workflow charts to make it clear where volunteers/users
should go? An organizational chart would steer volunteers by interest,
by language, by qualifications. In the workflow or decision-tree chart
it would make it clear, for instance, whether it's desirable for a
user with a bug to a) file a bug b) go onto an IRC channel c) mail a
-devel list. Then I think there is a need for a chart showing at a
glance the relationships betwen major projects and companies and an
end Ubuntu distribution, with links. These could just be simple image
mock-ups, but the best would be actual UML/semantic diagrams. The
bestest would be to have a huge organizational/dependency chart
automatically generated from various datasources, like the repository
dependencies! Okay, that might be a project unto itself, but I would
interested in working on some version of this. The feeling that I
would like to alleviate for potential volunteers is the sense of being
in a vast office complex wandering down empty hallways and peeking
into doors wondering where you supposed to go :)
