== Streamlining the volunteering process ==

Because right now getting involved is awful - there is no clear path to getting involved with anything (except possibly Support-Gang).

== The wiki ==

=== What does it facilitate now? ===

* spread organizational vision

* start programs (sort of)
* find collaborators (theoretically)
* find content and information
* contribute content

* edit/organize pages
* donating XOs

* Main page is scary for newcomers
* things exist now, but are '''hard to find'''

=== What would we like it to do in the future? ===

* more on how to start programs
* "How do ''I'' get involved?"
* (actually) find collaborators
* find help (repair, support, advice)
** thorough guides, documentation, contact people
* connect with kids and educators
* find projects to work on
** something easier, like Pootle
** project database?
