[yocto] Yocto Project Janitors Wiki

[Osier-mixon, Jeffrey]

Maybe I'm the one who is confused. Looking at the contents of the Janitors page - I expected to see a list of existing things that need to be cleaned up. The most visible thing on the page is the description of how to enter tasks, and I think I assumed that was all that was there. It might be best to put the tasks format above the list of actual tasks so it doesn't look like the main focus of the list. Might also be good to add an auto-generated TOC right under the Tasks header - I'll look up how to make the wiki do that.

Re submission guidelines - I'm working on a set of pages that show new participants how to submit code or documentation to the project. Part of these guidelines is details just like the "how to enter new tasks" description, so I may borrow that.

I'm not following you here. "Submission Guidelines" ?
