I am ready to assist with reading materials from time to time but I am afraid I will not have time to fully dedicate to this initiative. I want to make sure I deliver what I commit to.

Are we able to recruit someone new from our community? Do we have anyone?

I am going to admit here that one of my plans was to do a simple and basic Inkscape course, all based on YouTube videos,  in my native language (Brazilian Portuguese) after noticing that there is no single source of learning the basics of Inkscape with good quality and consistency.

I have never recorded videos before but I have created multiple written training material both in step by step, user guides and in tutorial fashion. I even bought the basic course from Nick Saporito about Inkscape so I could learn all the basics as well as to learn with his teaching style and to close my gaps on the features I was not aware of before 


Wish me good luck. Planning this for this year. Just trying to decide if the course would be for 0.92.x or 1.0 release

The website admin stands ready to make you a team if you need one.

For community management though, I would put together a recruitment
drive with the vector's team. You'll want to encourage new people
who've never contributed to join you a space that they'll be
comfortable with. That might be the rocket chat, or it could be the
forums. But having that soft landing page with a warm welcome will be
really important to growing the team.

The other thing is leadership. I've seen a few different people working
on documentation and tutorials and such. Do you have any idea about who
might want to lead the team, organise meetings or prioritise work?

Best Regards, Martin Owens
