We don't really have any volunteer at the moment, at least until very recently. There are a few new people currently working on mentored bugs, but this is too recent to know if they'll stick around.
There is a major volunteer contributor, Ms2ger, who works on Canvas stuff, but that's not really Graphics per se.
We started https://wiki.mozilla.org/Platform/GFX/Meet already; will file bugs to get the Mozillians directory to cover all our needs.
Define Contribution Opportunities
Q: Can you point someone interested in contributing to your project to a list of available contribution opportunities?
A: We started https://wiki.mozilla.org/Platform/GFX/Contribute already, with in particular this link to find Graphics mentored bugs. So we're on track with that.
Map Contribution Paths
Q: Are there clearly understood steps someone can follow to go from knowing nothing about your project to successfully contributing?
A: We're trying to document that on https://wiki.mozilla.org/Platform/GFX/Contribute .
Establish Goals and Metrics
Q: What goals does your team have for bringing in new contributors and how can you measure if you are successful?
A: I think the only metric that matters is how many new 'core' contributors we get (and how long they stick around). Quality, not quantity. A contributor who'd contribute 1 or 2 patches and then disappear, would not repay for the investment made to teach him stuff. So 'number of patches' and 'number of contributors' are not the important metrics; 'number of core contributors' is.
