The Ubuntu Community website has an awesome new service: Find-A-Task
It's a referral service - it helps volunteers discover teams and tasks that match their interests.
- Link to it!
- Refer new enthusiasts toward it!
- Advertise your teams and projects on it!
Give it a try and see how it can work for your team or project.

Your landing page:
This is a volunteer's first impression of your team. Make it shine.
When volunteers show up at your wiki page, they are already interested. They want to know how to set up, who to contact, and how to get started on their first easy work item. They want instructions and details.
If you don't provide what they want, they may move on to their next choice. Find-A-Task makes it easy for them to move on.
