I plan to post monthly reminders of Find-A-Task on Planet and G+
reminders for the remainder of 2015. Other suggestions for generating
interest are always welcome.

Suggestion: Could we add an agenda item to the November 2015 UOS
Community Roundtable? An evaluation of Find-A-Task's effectiveness, and
suggestions for improvement would be a worthwhile few minutes of
discussion.

My perspective: Find-A-Task seems rather a failure today. I think we
should continue to try to energize it into usefulness. But if it's still
a failure in, say, February 2016, I propose shutting it down and trying
something else to recruit new participants and contributors to the
Ubuntu communities.

Defining that 'something else' seems an appropriate discussion *before*
UOS.
