[libreoffice-projects] [Proposal] A central employment-office-like web structure for TDF/LibO volunteers

Hello *,

here it is an idea of mine I've started to discuss with Sophie:

http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss@documentfoundation.org/msg06252.html

It's still in a very raw and theoretical form and it likely has to be 
refined a lot.

The main purpose of such a proposal is to increase efficiency in 
managing help requests and contributions, both casual and core ones.

While I was thinking about it a little more, I've already found 3 more 
critical points:

1) appreciation of the proposal by and its utility for developers. They 
already have bugzilla;

2) manageability of such a system by the maintainers and contributors of 
the projects. They have, like everybody else, few free time and the 
addition of another "system" and its maintenance may reduce that 
available time. A huge automation of the system is absolutely needed;

3) native languages projects/tasks may create barriers in a management 
system of this kind without the key effort of few local coordinators, 
usually the same maintainers and core contributors of the NL projects 
who are already overloaded with work.

My main concern, even before the technical implementation of this 
proposal, it's not to create more and unwanted overload for the 
*current* contributors.

Again, any comment about the proposal and its possible implementation is 
welcome.

Regards,

Gianluca
