If we were ALL to participate, then we would have quite the community 
and fast development. More help would permit us to divide up tasks more 
easily, provide new members with tasks as well as delegate more 
efficiently.

We should encourage far more participation from our user base. Many are 
reluctant to join due to the lack of clearly defined tasks. Many others 
are reluctant to join due to language barriers not realizing that there 
are tools to bridge these barriers.

I, for one, would encourage people to sign up for help where they 
believe they would be most helpful and where they believe that they 
could be mentored or delegated to some tasks at the skill level.

The developers' list is a great example of this, where new members, 
adept at coding, are encouraged to start off with working on their "Easy 
task" list and the developers are quite willing to mentor these users.

Mentorship is certainly a value that the LibreOffice members should 
embrace. Vibrancy of community comes from this.

Cheers

Marc
