Current status can be found at Community communication/Status --Dawnfoster 20:11, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Where I could use help:

Need to write some better bugzilla guidelines that references the existing Bugzilla/how-report-bugs page. Other Community guidelines for reference.
The MeeGo FAQ and sub-FAQs need some significant work and updates.

Focused on overhauling the Community communication processes and creating the infrastructure to support it. --Dawnfoster 16:31, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

The MeeGo community has been growing very quickly, and we need to scale our community collaboration and contribution along with this growth.

Current problems this is designed to solve:

Overwhelming volume of posts in a small number of mailing lists results in
- Key contributors missing important information
- Some project teams relying on private communication channels to avoid using meego-dev
Questions and discussions are being posted in the wrong communication channels
The same questions are being posted over and over
People are confused about how to contribute to MeeGo and are frustrated with the process

Create more mailing lists as defined in the Community communication document - in process
Improve FAQs for those questions that keep being asked
Work with other teams to document key processes that people need
Create Bugzilla guidelines

Better contribution guidelines for code and other contributions - DONE.
Community communication improvements - DONE
- Better documentation about purpose of each list / forum organized by audience - DONE
- Post guidelines for mailing lists and IRC use - DONE
Overhaul MeeGo.com community page with all of these improvements - DONE
