I disagree here. I don't see this work are try only trying to come up
with categories to order a bunch of links. Now I am more trying to
identifying roles or skills, that possible contributors can identify
with, and point them to the relevant tasks. If a role only points to one
task, then that's fine with me. A stronger, but somehow related,
limitation for me would be to stick to a number of roles that good
enough to structure and present our roles.

I disagree, and Fedora also seem to find it important to differentiate
between people who feel like writing things, and people who feel list
translating what is already been written.

I'd don't really care about how well this section is classified. We
don't have problems to get mirrors, and people are already pointed to
that page before that and more systematically, from the download page.

So I created two mockups which both our proposals on the blueprint. Here
they are:
