Thread:Types of volunteers (1)

Do we need people to indicate the type of volunteer they want to be?

I am involved with this WE QA initiative and we had a request for volunteers that was quickly and completely subscribed. And now we are two weeks into it, I have posted a couple of questions and none of the volunteers have engaged in discussion or added content. So maybe when we make a call for volunteers we ask for volunteers of a certain type. I will suggest the following; So now when we make a call for volunteers we can be more specific and people can indicate the type of volunteer. As an example with this QA project we could make the following call for volunteers;
 * Contibutor - someone who is active in moving the project forward
 * Reviewer - someone who watches and reads the project and occassionally adds suggestions, makes comments, etc...
 * Approver - someone who has some credability in the projects subject area who endorses the project deliverables
