gEDA Tasks
gEDA is run by volunteers, so these are volunteer (read: unpaid) tasks. Please consider helping out. Thank you.
This is a list of ways to contribute that do not involve programming. See here for a list of programming tasks.

Publicity
-
Linux Publicity Manager
Somebody is needed to do publicity for the gEDA project. This consists of posting release updates to the various Linux/Unix websites (like
Freshmeat or
LWN or
http://LinuxRobots.org/ )
Website
Documentation Writers/Editors
Somebody is needed to act as an editor for the gEDA documentation effort. Basically this person would take whatever documentation already exists and/or is currently being written and formats it into something presentable. This individual does not write the actual documentation, but would instead perform editorial work. People who want to write the actual documentation are also needed. (The
start page explains how to get started editing the documentation on the wiki).
Website/Mirror Hacker
Somebody to watch over the mirrors and maybe do some
HTML hacking is needed. There are currently three websites which need to be monitored and occasionally fixed. The person would also have influence in the changing/expansion of the gEDA website. Duties would be split among the current webmasters.
