If you're referring to the branding issues call for help, I was unable to help at that time, but I also had trouble understanding exactly what was needed. There was a link to an Audit Status page on the wiki, without much explanation of what should be done with it.
When there is a bit of time, it would be interesting to see why it wasent clear - the questions were asked a few times, and we all went through a few iterations to workout how things could clear up. Quite a few people did get involved though. I am sure there will be plenty of opportunity for you to help as well :)
Would it help to have someone in charge of organizing community involvement? Someone who would take the time to ensure that there is enough documentation of how people can help?
that has been brought up a few times in the past as well, it might be something worth trying. Although that then creates another layer of abstraction between the people trying to get things done and the ones trying to help.
Having said that, over the next few months we are going to try and create more specific tasks, with tangible end points and try and see if that sort of a tasklist makes things easier for people to get involved with. The best thing is that the distro build isnt the only place people can help with.
