Thanks for doing this. Always nice to give some direction to new-comers.

The list looks good and not complicated. Nice!

Perhaps letting new comers know that helping out does not necessarily 
mean a large contribution of time, and that any amount of contribution, 
no matter how much or little time involved is most welcomed. Many people 
think that you have to promise hours of time but really, even if all it 
involves is about 5 minutes/day or 20 minutes to help proof messages or 
fix wiki pages, then this is also welcomed.

One other aspect that I usually think really important is that people 
should have fun contributing ... it is not a job, but volunteered time. 
If it becomes a "chore" helping out and no fun, then they could try 
another section with LibreOffice and see if they could contribute 
elsewhere -- it is amazing how one's talents can be put to good use on 
the project!

Cheers,

Marc
