We believe that new volunteers typically follow a path similar to the following:

===Decide Sugar is Sweet===
Our goal is to have storytelling work; [[Deployment_Team/Resources#Videos | video]] and the [http://www.sugarlabs.org main website] should all support people understanding how Sugar is used in education, and why it's different and better for 5-12-year-old learners.

A concrete action is to add the [[Activities/Help |Help Activity]] back into Sugar on a Stick so that people can easily find the manual, etc.

It is probably not obvious to first time Sugar users that its not another commercial project. We want to add info the Help Activity to let people know its a Community Project.

===Initial Engagement===
Right now people have to goto an in person meetup or conference or join the mailing list. The vision is to make it easier with "Ask a Question". This would be a link from the Help Activity to a web page with a form. The person puts a question and their email address into the form. The question is sent to IAEP and anyone there can reply answering their question or pointing them to the answer. If we succeed in involving the person in a dialog we can invite them to join the community and IAEP list.
===Wanting to help===
Our theory is if we involve people in a dialog with the community and they learn about Sugar, our mission and that we are a volunteer community project they will want to help.
===Being part of a task/team/group/getting a mentor/buddy===
Right now its a big jump from wanting to help to really engaging and being part of something. We are looking for ways to make this easier. One step is to add the email address of a real person to each section of "Getting Involved".
We would also like to create geographical contacts.
===Successfully completing a task===
Getting your first task complete is hard. We hope that contacting a real person in the step above will help.
===Take responsibility===
We want *you* to be a leader. Examples include
* Become a mentor
* Team leader
* Pilot at a school
* Activity maintainer/creator
* Core developer
* Public relations
* Lead a Sugar Camp or a presence at a conference
===Become a Sugar Labs Leader===
First step is to read [http://www.starfishandspider.com/ Starfish and Spider: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations].
