Volunteers in Waiting

[damned_colonial]

The Volunteers in Waiting page doesn't seem to be very useful. People have mentioned that they put their names there and never had any further contact. I'm wondering if we can get rid of the page to avoid further trouble, after contacting everyone currently on it?

Pretty much everyone's provided an email address. What we would need to do is:

a) collate everyone's email addresses, removing spam-traps etc (obviously not on the wiki itself)
b) put together a list of places people can follow up on volunteering
c) write an email including said list
d) send that email to the list of people

For bonus points: team leads from eg. styles, support, etc, could contact those with particular interests in those areas pointing them at more specific resources.

Thoughts?

ETA: Item A was done over the weekend (thanks to wychwood for much of the work), and I've got it in a google spreadsheet. We have everyone listed including information on whether they seem suitable for/interested in support/styles/docs/coding/accessibility.
