This sounds *a lot* like what
www.winehq.org/about/index.php?contrib
already lists.

I really don't think adding a sort of "duplicate" page is
going to help with the Wine users that already in some cases seem to be
going out of their way to make sure that they don't contribute to Wine
activities.
(because it might even leave those people that do want to do Wine
activities confused)
My reasoning is: how many external winehq maintainers do we have ?
how many main AppDB maintainers ? How many FAQ-O-Matic maintainers ?
How many documentation writers ? How many translators ? How many regular
application testers ?
(Almost) all are tasks that even a non-programmer can easily handle given
some dedication...

So how should this page conflict be resolved ?
I'm open to anything - well, probably except to having two separate pages
with some sort of "Wine contribution" content.

"Getting involved in Wine activities" ?
That might be the link to a combined page, at least.

I'd comment it out, then.
