Maybe to some other team too?

Also this mail is in my Draft box. (To: devel-announce)

Hello, as you can read here [1], Fedora Join SIG is experimenting a new people focused workflow for newcomers.

In two words: people willing to contribute, instead of sending them directly to wiki pages or documentation sites, we would like to discuss with them and keep them in the wheel, while they discover the community, and look for a place where they are useful and happy to help.
Note: this is not an enforcing process. People is still free to directly join (or ask to join) teams and follow SIG procedures as before.

So, if you "encounter" a person willing to contribute, but that person is undecided and in need of help, address her/him to us!

And also, if you would like to give good adivices and help the newcomers, please stay around in the Fedora Join community channels [2] in order to answer questions and curiosities coming from potential new contributors.

Looks very good too---made one or two tweaks. What do you think?

Hello, as you can read here [1], the Fedora Join SIG is experimenting a new people focused workflow for newcomers.

This is not an enforcing process, of course. People can still directly join (or ask to join) teams and follow SIG procedures as before. The new workflow is meant to help people who do not know enough about how Fedora works to take that step of joining a group and getting started with tasks.

So, if you run into people that would like to contribute, but are undecided and in need of help with where/how they should get started, please address them to us[2].

Also, it'd be great if we can have more community members in these channels to answer questions and curiosities coming from potential new contributors. So please consider keeping an eye on them.

Ok, if there are not show-stopper objections I will send this mail as well, this evening or tomorrow morning.
