Brianna Laugher:

As [mentioned](https://mail.python.org/pipermail/pytest-dev/2015-February/002763.html) on the mailing list, it could be useful to have a small project to offer help to open source projects, to encourage them to adopt pytest.

It would also be a good way for us to discover "pain points" for new pytest users, for example which areas need better documentation or examples, and maybe even come up with advice about converting existing test suites to pytest.

This issue is to collect work related to this effort.

Initial plan:

* February: gather pytest volunteers
* March: advertise and ask for projects interested in taking part
* April: the actual work
* May: survey/write up how it went

Things to do:

* Make a short form to gather details about pytest volunteers (e.g. areas of  experience/interest)
* Make a page to put on the pytest website, with info to advertise to potential projects
* Make a short form for projects to apply/register to take part
* Pair volunteers and projects together
* Survey volunteers and projects after the month is over, write a summary of responses
