Report first contact experience
First contact experience is unique and shows us things we don't see anymore. Getting a report about you first experience when using or also when building buzztard would be nice.
- what was difficult/easy
- what resources did you consult (web/help/forum/irc)
Design a feature (blueprint)
A new feature needs a bit of thinking. How should the new functionality be presented. What is the workflow of using the feature.
- make a ui design using glade/inkscape/paper
- write up a few paragraph with usage-scenarios on the wiki
Translate to a new locale
- translate the UI text at the translationproject.org
Tutorials
A video is a great way give and overview or demonstrate features.
- Record a tutorial and post to a video site
- start with the tutorials included with buzztard (if not done yet)
- propose new tutorials or write scripts for new videos
