It's hard to tell if what is listed is still needed or not. I also think that new community members can be quite shy and maybe not willing to speak up themselves right away. Maybe a weekly or monthly message saying something like "We need your help" and listing current tasks that general users and/or professionals can help with would encourage more volunteers. Also, if there are a few people like me who don't check the website super often (other than the RSS feeds of the main page) then we might not notice when/if these sections of the website get updated. The last time I offered to help with general stuff nothing ever came of it so that's also a little discouraging but won't stop me from donating some of my time in the future. I may be qualified to help around the website with general maintenance and content updating. I'm not a super writer but I can manage. I will offer my help in that regard. Unfortunately I am not an accountant, lawyer, or copyright nerd so I'm sorry I can't help much there. -- Dennis d'Entremont IT Professional CNA, MCP, A+, ITIL LinkedIn Profile - http://www.linkedin.com/in/dennisdentremont http://www.techalpha.net - Tech Alpha Computer Forums http://nerfd.net - Nerfd Technologies http://eComStation.ca - Your Canadian Source for eCS and OS/2 Software! http://Haikuware.com - Software for Haiku http://Haiku-OS.org - Haiku Operating System
