I'm sorry but I don't think that's what I meant. Imagine somebody who's
totally new to Ubuntu, who clicks on the "community" or "contribute"
link on the main page. Somebody who maybe doesn't even know they can
contribute to Ubuntu at all.

We want to present this group of people with all the options our
community has to offer and to advertise the teams and projects we have,
excite them and give them idea of what it takes, where to go, etc.

As I said above, I'm not sure if that's not a bit too much. :)

Have a great day,
 Daniel
