    • Give them the e-mail contact info of the mozQA member who is in charge of that area
      • If WebDev, have them read the WebDev Volunteer Guide and contact stephend
      • If Community Involvement, contact aakashd, juanb

      • If Localization, contact tchung, juanb

      • If Triaging, take part in Bug Days and/or contact tracy
      • If Unit Testing/Automation/Tool Development, contact ctalbert
      • If Website Testing, contact whimboo
    • Offer a simple assignment to determine their level of competency
    • Offer reading material about the subject in QMO's Doc Tree
  • If no specific interest, ask them to go through QMO's Projects page and see if there is something they are interested in
    • If nothing interests them from the list of Projects on QMO, suggest Litmus BFTs via QAC and tell them to e-mail you the BFT they are interested in
      • Once they have determined a subgroup, forward their e-mail to tracy

Determining the Next Step

  • Continue to give them more authority and responsibility when they are ready for it
    • Don't be afraid to let them make mistakes
