Goals
What goals does your team have for bringing in new contributors to your project area?
Proposed goal: Create and maintain a curated list of 50 mentored bugs that can be handed out to promising new contributors.

Metrics
What data is available to measure if we're meeting your goals?
Ideas
- Have a way to determine skill level and tailor the path appropriately. For instance, someone who can compile Firefox can be given different tasks than someone who is just starting out with coding. We could add a field to the current Get Involved form when someone says they're interested in coding and ask a specific question about a skill level.
- Adding coding activity to a mozillians.org profile will make contributing more attractive. Things to consider including are: A list of resolved bugs in bugzilla or else a ist of patches committed and authored would definitely help. Perhaps integration with open badges as well.
