Hello, we have many teams within Debian. Each team has its own habits, its own tools. Some of the teams do not work as well as they could and they have trouble recruiting new volunteers. In order to try to address that I started a wiki page whose goal is to be a good introductory page to all teams. Anyone who wants to learn more about some teams should be able to consult the page and have an idea of what he/she could do to start contributing to the team, and maybe later join it. http://wiki.debian.org/Teams I also contributed some guidelines to build effective teams. I gathered those from my experience of handling Alioth (it concerns mainly teams in charge of infrastructure however): http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Guidelines There's room for improvements in that document and I welcome your feedback. I mentionned this initiative once in -project and that's why some people already contributed description for various teams. I contributed the description of the Alioth team and did the page for DSA too (even though I'm not a DSA member, but I try to help there). The listmasters contributed a page and decided to use it to host a FAQ. Several packaging teams did as well. Now is the time for all the other teams to create their page and to subscribe to it (to check that other don't do incorrect changes). If you need some assistance, feel free to ask. Even if you're not part of the team, you can contribute what you know about a team and then ask the team to complete/review. It's an interesting way to get started within a team and requires you to collect information that are already available but spread all over the place.
