Looking at the list, I have the feeling that the following are the most 
important:

- treasurer/financial manager: the issue of how to collect funds from 
sponsors for code sprints comes up regularly

- release manager: Markus shouldn't have to handle this on his own any 
longer

- documentation manager / education outreach: these can actually go 
together. I think that the manual page system works relatively well 
(some more detailed descriptions and notes and possibly some more 
examples might be nice), but that we lack a coherent body of up-to-date 
tutorial-like documentation. Such documentation could be very useful for 
educational purposes as well

- translation manager: although I think that the translations system 
seems to work.

But even if we designate documentation and translation managers we 
cannot expect them to do all the work, so the real question is whether 
having such managers will bring in more volunteers...

For the first two roles (financial and release) one person to support 
Markus in these tasks would already make a big difference.

Markus, could you maybe list the different things that need to be done 
in these roles ?
