If you're interested in volunteering your skill, time and effort,
join our volunteers list by emailing majordomo@intelligence.org with
"subscribe volunteers" in the email body.
Here's a few examples of volunteer areas:
1) SIAI t-shirt design. I'd like to have two professional quality
t-shirts available this year for selling and for use as gifts to
donors and volunteers. One of the first steps: Acquiring ideas on
possible sayings and visuals for SIAI t-shirts.
2) Link requesting. Finding appropriate sites with PageRank of 3+
to request a link from. The higher our Google rank for "Artificial
Intelligence," the greater # of site visitors. We're around #25
for "Artificial Intelligence" and #3 for "Singularity." Breaking
the top ten for the former would give a sizable increase in our
# of unique visitors per month (we're averaging 20,000 right now).
In addition to increasing traffic, breaking the top ten for
"Artificial Intelligence" would further legitimacy. URLS from
potential sites should be sent to me; I'd then request the link.
Note that we almost always ask that our full title be linked.
3) Foreign translations of our online literature.
4) Google AdWords. I'd welcome help on writing effective ads for
increasing our site traffic.
If you can help, stand up! Just email me.

And yes, SI must organize our volunteer base. We have ~200 volunteer signups.
I simply haven't found time to encourage and direct their effort. I'd like a
Volunteer Coordinator to work with on this complex but immensely valuable
task.
