Thanks Christian!

As the results from the survey on engaging users are now published,
it appears clearly that we ought to make it easy and clear for existing
and potential users to contribute. There are two ways -or two places we
ought to do that, and this starts straight with the top menus. 

I'm thinking about two of them, specifically. 
We discussed the "Get Involved" one in detail already, but I'm a bit
concerned that besides the exhaustive aspect of the information we want
to display, we need to make it visually appealing. Understand by that
that we must as often as possible avoid long blocks of text and prefer
shorter texts with more graphics. This page is a good example:
http://developer.ubuntu.com/ and this one which covers even more
topics: http://fedoraproject.org/en/join-fedora

That would be for the Get Involved Section. We can refine the content
with each subsection and page, but at least the point would be to get a
clear overview of the opportunities.

The other place I was thinking about is the homepage. There will be
several other things on the homepage to be sure, but  what do people
think if we were to put some graphical element about "Getting Involved"
or at least some clear text directly on the homepage?

Thanks for your feedback,
