Sorry for the repeated reply, I just had a chat with Pete on irc and it
seems like I may have not explained my intent properly. What I really mean
to say is that there should be someone on every team to help out newcomers,
show them specifically how they can help with a project based on their
skills, and then be with them until they first set it up on their local (or
come up with a logo for eg). Now this person may or may not be an
ambassador, but it's useful if all ambassadors know such people so they
know who to point people to when they're directing people to a team.

Thanks!
