Essentially, I am looking at understanding the following (in no particular order) (+) is this form of the template useful to have (+) can we use this template to have multiple contributors for the various sections If the feedback is "yes/sort of", can we seek more volunteer contributors? The pondering about the Twitter handle(s)/IRC nick was around whether it would make sense to add one/both so as to make readers aware and familiar with the individuals and their social presence. So, a line like "Atin indicates that the "failed after update on centos 7" http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.gluster.user/21924 could actually be a split-brain issue and suggests a recovery path" would include Atin's Twitter handle or, IRC nick in parentheses. I am not familiar with which page on the new docs page has the features link. The section is proposed to be added so as to highlight a clear feature path to any readers of the weekly news. My general assumption is that acquiring more and new readers is an implied goal. The FB and other social media presence is available in the "Get in Touch" section at the end. Does the project have any "Easy Fix" bugs we can view via a query and thus encourage new contributors to take a look at? -- sankarshan mukhopadhyay <https://about.me/sankarshan.mukhopadhyay>

For that a list like "Who is Who" would be be sufficient. Not sure where to keep that list though. I guess listing contributors on the website would be nice, and someone already proposed something like that IIRC.> I am not familiar with which page on the new docs page has the > features link.
