Questions

  • Is this OLPC specific, or could the idea of a volunteers portal be generalized to apply to various open content organizations? (For instance, would it be possible to create a "how to make a portal" as a final deliverable?)
  • What are the criteria for project success? This is not necessarily an "I'm going to produce deliverables A, B, and C" but instead a "by the end of the project, X, Y, and Z will have happened," where X, Y, and Z are concrete things we can aim for.
  • How many people can work on this project at once? How can we involve/reach as many people as possible with the project?

Resources

  • Check out the Wikipedia welcome wagon (search around and leave messages on some of their talk pages, even) and how it works - being able to include information about that (links!) would be great.
  • Other good volunteer portals or programs: the volunteering section of http://mysociety.org, the frontpage of http://kiva.org and http://donorschoose.org.
