Community/South-Asia/Task Force

NOTE: The list will be reviewed and updated every 3 months

Task Force

Each Contribution Area has a Task Force Team. Task Forces are groups of individuals with a similar interest who focus on a specific Area of contribution(SUMO, Localization, QA, Engagement, Web-Dev, IT ).

• Each Task Force has Mentor(s) to help newcomers to get started in the regional community. Mentor's encourage contributors to document his/her activities during this period to learn and grow accordingly.
• There is no limit on the number of casual contributors to a Task Force.
• Tasks
  • Each Task Force can have tasks, a small work that has to be done assigned to a contributor. Not mandatory to have big/complex infrastructure like bugzilla for these assignments.
  • Each task has a description, person in charge, due date and status. They are listed on their corresponding area/project page and also in the profile of the person in change of it. This last thing it’s very important because it’s a way to friendly remind people they have something to do.
• Projects:

Every initiative is a new project, from “Localizing AMO” to “Improve site design” or “Tips and tricks for beginners”. Anyone can create a new project. Each task force can have any number of projects.
