That would definitely be awesome to have a sort of "Bootstrapped" series 
for the different subgroups - it would also provide the people 
participating a direct reward (i.e. a badge) for completing a task to 
being onboarded.

So in the meanwhile, we can begin working towards making the steps more 
clear and/or visible for a given subgroup that we want to work more 
closely with.

Hmmm. So our options seem to either be the Magazine or the QA team? My 
thoughts on this is if we were to do a Magazine Join-Day, we might even 
try to have a few "easy" pitches that people could try to do, but 
otherwise, I could see where it might be similar to what Pete described. 
Of course, I guess it also depends on where peoples' interests lie.

For the QA team, I'm not that familiar with the process but I could 
become familiar with the process and help in the proceedings.

I think this is pretty universal for any group we end up going with. 
Seems like a good outline to me.
