@MariekevC how do you mean? Yes, I'm an amateur who has refashioned one OS font into another OS font with the help of some very talented folks.
On that note, we'd love to attract type designers to help refine and polish various fonts out there!

@bnvk Yes, that's a good example.
When you want to work on a font: how to go about it, who to ask, how to get help. Also things like 'best practices', maybe links to os software, how to go about licences, what is 'free' and 'open' in case of type design, etc.
When I'm dealing with fonts I often find myself looking for info on this subject.
It would be nice to find it here.
What would attract type designers, what would you look for?

I think @raphaelbastide @gingercoons are what you look for and/or probably know more open source type designers. :)

There are plenty of Free / Open source type designers. @davelab6 knows them all for sure :=)

Money attracts type designers. No money, no libre font development. There are some rare exceptions, like Libertine and EB Garamond.

+ research and challenge, for some few cases.
