Hi,

Seems like we get closer to a nice list!

I think we must find a way to group this, as a category with only one
item is kindof useless. I think that a category should have 2 to 4/5
items.

I really think we should group these into "Have language skills" or
something like that.

Yes.

It have been suggested in a previous email to group these two.

We might also want to group the two previous categories (developer and
administrator) into one "Have computer skills" as you suggested before.
I'm however unsure whether it would be less appealing to sysadmins.

This one only has one item it it… but I fail to see how to group it
without loosing too much info.

So:

- Designer
- Improve the website design -> contribute/how/website

But that's yet another one-item category…

New proposal would be:

* User
- Report issues
- Provide needed input to developers
- Help other Tails users
- Make a donation

* Have language skills
- Improve documentation
- Improve Tails in your own language

* Have computer skills
- Fix a bug
- Implement a new feature
- Setup a mirror

* People Person
- Spread the word

* Designer
- Improve the website design -> contribute/how/website

It seems me nice but the to last one-itemed categories.

Cheers
