+On a similar note, I think that we should have icons in Mageia that take 
+users directly to file a bug report, since newbees don't know where to 
+go to file a bug report, having such icons for them will help get more 
+people involved.
+
+Everything that we can do to guide people in the right direction will 
+help improve community involvement.
+
+So the first step is guiding people where to go to file bug reports. In 
+that line of thought, packagers, when they are e-mailed, and respond 
+telling people to file a bug report, would be good to include a link to 
+bugzilla in the e-mail as standard practice.
+
+So the first step would be to guide people in filing bug reports, and 
+then the next step would be guiding people into participating in other 
+ways. So the easier we can make it for people to find themselves helping 
+out, the better Mageia community we will have.
+
+Instead of waiting for people to volunteer, we should guide them in the 
+direction they should go.
