(OK, let's assume our mirror pool is sustainable if we remove this
link from the "How to contribute" section -- we can always try it and
see what happens.)
I'm not quite comfortable with the idea of dropping some important and
very real ways of contributing from this list, as is done in the
`Without "Server administrator"' proposal. It feels a bit like
negating the actual work people are doing. I'm unsure how important
this really is, but I thought I would mention this
uncomfortable feeling.
Anyway, this may not matter much, as maybe a "System administrator"
category will be needed anyway: there's been work done since the
summit towards being able to have a contribute/sysadmin page, so at
some point we surely want to add a link about this kind of work (I
would say by the end of the year). I'm not sure how it integrates with
the existing proposals, but perhaps we would be better off taking this
into account right from the beginning.

Thanks! It does help me think about the whole thing.
I'm generally happy with the first proposal.
One thing that bothers me slightly is where tasks like writing press
releases would fit in. Right now, the place it fits best is probably
the "Spread the word" page. However, it's listed in "People person",
and I doubt people skilled at writing PR things would necessarily
identify as "People persons", and then they could look at the "Content
writer" category and get lost (because they don't feel like writing
documentation). Perhaps we should have:
* Writer
- Improve documentation
- Write press releases [points to "Advocate Tails" page]
(could surely be phrased better)
* Speaker
- Talk at events [points to "Advocate Tails" too]
... then rename "Spread the word" to "Advocate Tails" (and possibly
rename the page altogether from contribute/how/promote to
contribute/how/advocate), and split this page into two big sections,
one being for speakers, the other for writers of PR and alike?
Thoughts?
Cheers,
