Support/areas of responsibilities

Goal: Identify and document/publish more areas of responsibilities that community members can take ownership of

Rationale Currently we ask people in very general terms to contribute to SUMO. However there are very specific things we need help with, and it's easier for contributors to start somewhere when they have a good understanding of what it is we need. These pages (or page) could be linked from the how to contribute page to offer people more information up front about an area they have shown interest in.

Information needed:

• List of areas we currently offer
• List of areas we should offer
• A 'job decription' for each area, with know-how needed to fill in position

Schedule:

• Brainstorming with the team [October 27]
• Done: Meet with community to come up with additional areas and positions to fill in [2nd week of November]
• Create sections of 'your contribution needed' on sub landing pages [December 23rd]

Announcements: forum, mailing list, IRC meeting, blog (4th week of December)
