Suggestion: Use the [http://www.mozillians.org mozillians.org contributor directory] to help.  Communicate through your team's channels and encourage people to sign up and group themselves with a common team tag.  If you assign a group tag to all contributors on your project, the [https://metrics.mozilla.com/pentaho/content/pentaho-cdf-dd/Render?solution=metrics2&path=mozillians&file=mozillians.wcdf Mozillians dashboard] will track the size of that group and will also allow you to easily export the contact information for group members. You can export these contacts to ensure all your contributors are signed up.

A:
Audit existing channels where potential contributors find information (or should be able to find information) about how to get involved and then optimize to make sure the channels are effective.

Suggestion: Look at what your team's needs are and what gaps you have in staffing to come up with a list of contribution opportunities. Capture those on a wiki page, in bugs, as role descriptions in Jobvite or whatever makes sense for your community.
