 Q: Are there clearly understood steps someone can follow to go from knowing nothing about your project to successfully contributing?
-A: Here are the steps:
+Not at the moment, but we would love to include the Students Rep Program to promote Mozilla on a wider range of campuses. Ideally, those students will be somewhat technical and could help us organizing events at their respective universities.
-) Go to College Recruiting wiki page to find out the project descriptions;
+Until now, we've been relying on our full-time employees to sign up for tech talks and career fairs, but we understand that our engineers get extremely busy.
-) Sign up through the form
+- come up with a list of bugs per team that would be ideal for new students to work on. In short, how can we encourage students with prior technical expertise to take part in the project?
+- create some sort of process for new contributors to get up to speed with our college recruiting needs
-) Someone from college recruiting will reach out to you if you are qualified.
-) Enroll into the contributor system
-) Have monthly meeting on summaries and action plans
 Suggestion: In addition to just documenting these steps, look for a simple 5-minute task that someone can take to get started (for example, signing up for Bugzilla if they are interested in coding) and also figure out where in the process you can add a mentor to help people.
