Mozillians/TaskBoard

Summary

Mozilla's sub-communities of Add-ons, QA, L10n, Support and more have been good at providing opportunities to those who find their way into them. This approach works for new and potential contributors who know what sort of tasks they'd like to work on. Though, for those who are unsure of what they would be interested or skilled to help with, it's not particularly helpful. So, the idea is to uplift basic introductory tasks across all sub-communities into a public-facing list of activities which are sortable and filterable list (i.e. much like a Job Board).

Goals

1. Increase the number of tasks completed within the Mozilla community
2. Increase the number of contributors performing tasks within the Mozilla community
3. Increase contributors awareness of sub-community tasks

Non-Goals

1. Become the taskboard for all tasks in the entire Mozilla community
