Trying to reach out for help

[Yousuf Philips]

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the blog post, though it seems to have the same information to
what is found on our contribution page <https://xubuntu.org/contribute/>.
What I've found effective is to identify specific tasks that we'd like the
community to get involved in, like for example designing a new mouse icon
<https://twitter.com/Xubuntu/status/1257943183444639744>, translating the
installer slides <https://twitter.com/Xubuntu/status/1246407168078856194>,
or helping with the documentation rewriting, and then announcing it on
social media. If we can prepare these small bite-sized contributions from
our various main areas, we can then reel in those who do contribute to get
even more involved.

Artwork - do we have any particular tasks for the default icons or gtk
theme that we want done? I put out a call
<https://twitter.com/Xubuntu/status/1244897218126991365> two months ago for
new installer slide designs, but it seems nobody answered it and I should
likely put out another call.

Development - do we have any easyhacks (atleast that is what they called it
in LibreOffice) that we want devs to work on?

Documentation and Translation - I have this covered

Marketing and Website - I'm covering marketing and have been improving the
text on various pages on the website and will be working with Pasi on
various page content rewrites/redesigns, but regarding the wordpress,
should I put out a call for a wordpress theme redesign or for volunteers
who can do particular wordpress dev tasks

Quality Assurance - I've been doing some of this and reporting the bugs
upstream with xfce and shimmer, but what tasks do we want to point
contributors to for QA.

Regards,
Yousuf
