Proposal: Updating the Contributor Ladder to a five-path model

Last year, the Training Team identified a need to clarify the contributor roles in the team. This post first outlines what improvements have been made over the last 12 months. It then proposes updating the team’s Contributor Ladder handbook page from a linear ladder to a five-path ladder, matching the team’s onboarding and faculty program structures.

Achievements from the last 12 months

Last year, the Training Team identified multiple needs in regards to the team roles. These were summarized in [Discussion] Reimagining the Training Team contributor roles. Many processes have since been implemented in response to these needs, and the team is seeing not just more contributors, but more engagement from contributors, too! Let’s take a moment to celebrate these wins!

Identified NeedImplemented Process
Easing the onboarding process for newcomers and beginners.A structured onboarding program was launched, with an additional Guide Program that new contributors can also sign up for.
Having a few folks who can focus on sorting GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. https://github.com/ issues consistently would be beneficial.– Weekly dev-squad triage sessions are now being conducted to triage web development issues.
– The content feedback validation and topic vetting processes were revised so that anyone can get involved, regardless of GitHub access.
– Translation Coordinators have been onboarded to triage content localization issues.
Increasing membership in the copy editor, reviewer, and auditor roles.Clarified guidelines for reviewing content has lowered the barrier for people to get involved with content reviews.
Assign a point of contact for new contributors to reach out to in each role.The use of SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/. groups has made it easier for new contributors to reach out to all faculty members in a specific area of expertise at once without the need to identify and pingPing The act of sending a very small amount of data to an end point. Ping is used in computer science to illicit a response from a target server to test it’s connection. Ping is also a term used by Slack users to @ someone or send them a direct message (DM). Users might say something along the lines of “Ping me when the meeting starts.” individuals.
It would be excellent to have onboarding videos/lesson plans for each role.The team’s onboarding program walks users through their first contribution, regardless of which of the five areas of expertise they choose.
Continue building the handbook so contributors have more precise guidance.The team handbook was audited, with additional resources added in particular to the How-To Guides section.
Clear guidelines for new joiners, especially for basic and Intermediate-level contributors.In addition to the onboarding program for new contributors, a Quick Contributions You Can Make Now page was also launched to assist intermediate-level contributors.

Proposal: a five-path contributor ladder

There is, however, one identified need which has yet to be addressed:

Better team role implementation, so new contributors will also have a clear picture of their assigned task(s).

The Training Team’s Team Roles and Contributor Ladder, as currently seen in the handbook, were last discussed in 2020. These were laid out in a linear progression to match the structure of the Training Team at that time.

However, as the team has grown, we’ve come to split the areas of contribution in the team into five areas. This is most evident in the five-path onboarding program, and the five areas of responsibility in the Faculty program. It is also a concept that has been shared in presentation slides throughout the year, such as this Online Workshop by @courtneypk: What is Learn WordPress?

Below is an image of a proposed grid, placing 30 Training Team contributor roles (or tasks) in a five-path contributor ladder. The five paths match the areas of contribution already defined in the team’s onboarding program and Faculty program. The same data is added below the image in a table also.

A table proposing a five path contributor ladder for the training team's contributor roles. Five columns are titled Content Creator, Content Translator, Editor, Subject Matter Expert, and Administrator. Four rows are titled Connecting, Engaging, Performing, and Leading. Thirty contributor roles are placed within the grid.

Request for feedback

Please share your feedback regarding this proposal by October 16th. Here are some questions to help you get started.

  • What are your thoughts about the five-path contributor ladder model?
  • How is the placement of contributor roles in the table? Should any roles be moved to another area of contribution, or to a different stage of volunteering?
  • Are there any other currently active roles in the Training Team that are missing from this table?

Thank you for reviewing this post, @courtneypk @piyopiyofox and @webtechpooja !

  • Jo Minney said: @abhanonstopnewsuk icymi the most recent comment from Destiny here is probably most relevant (this was following the meeting earlier today with Sensei, MetaMeta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress., Design, and Learn to discuss the proposed information architecture https://make.wordpress.org/training/2023/07/07/project-thread-learning-pathways-on-learn-wordpress/
  • This is outlining content we need to create and organize for Designers, Developers, and End-users who want to work through a Beginner -> Expert Learning Pathway.
  • The Training Team Accessibility Checklist has been published.
  • Abhanonstopnewsuk said: Can we add to avoid link text descriptors like ‘here’ please as these do not have any meaning and can be confusing for screen readers. This is @Jo Minney and for all the effort on this guide.

Looking for volunteers

  • We’re looking for volunteers to author the October edition of the Learn WordPress newsletter. (See the Learn WordPress Newsletter – September 2023 to see how its structured)
  • @abhanonstopnewsuk is looking for two volunteers to work alongside her to present an interactive presentation about Learn WordPress for Portsmouth WordPress MeetupMeetup All local/regional gatherings that are officially a part of the WordPress world but are not WordCamps are organized through https://www.meetup.com/. A meetup is typically a chance for local WordPress users to get together and share new ideas and seek help from one another.

Cleared a couple of issues, mainly editorial or broken links as I have time.

Blockers:  time constraints – if you can make the days 28 hrs for a few days, that would probably help.

No help needed, just very busy the rest of this month

Open Discussion

We have had a few open discussion requests come in today, so let’s focus on those for the rest of the meeting,

  • @Jonathan asks regarding course cohorts, how do we indicate that folks have completed the cohort?
    Jonathan wrote: Badges is one idea, the only downside I can think of is that we’d have to create a separate badge for each cohort. One other way I was thinking we could manage this was to add a new “Learn” item under the Activities at the bottom of a users profile
    Laura A wrote: @Jonathan great idea to add completed cohort area. It seems like the simplest way to implement.
  • When can an interested contributor take over developing a piece of content which had originally been assigned to another contributor, but no progress has been made for some time?

Ben pointed to the content localization handbook currently mentions:

  • If a GitHub issue has been stale for 2 weeks, pingPing The act of sending a very small amount of data to an end point. Ping is used in computer science to illicit a response from a target server to test it’s connection. Ping is also a term used by Slack users to @ someone or send them a direct message (DM). Users might say something along the lines of “Ping me when the meeting starts.” the person assigned to see how they’re going
  • If no response is received after a further 2 weeks, then the issue should be triaged and either closed, reassigned, or opened for others to take on

WordCamp US 2023 Contributor Day Recap

They are events where people get together to work on various areas of https://make.wordpress.org/ There are many teams that people can participate in, each with a different focus. https://2017.us.wordcamp.org/contributor-day/ https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/getting-started/getting-started-at-a-contributor-day/. was held this year on Thursday, August 24th. Typically all Make Teams share one room on Contributor Day, but this year the Training Team shared a large room with Docs Team contributors. This new setup allowed for us to have more space to engage with current and new contributors, spread out as we needed, and ensure that there was no confusion about which table was which.

You can see our Contributor Plans in this WordCamp US 2023 Contributor Day post.

This year we had a total of 30 in person contributors and 14 online contributors, giving us a total of 44 contributors to the Training Team on Contributor Day!

Can we give a round of applause to all of our friends who showed up to give back to WordPress through the Training Team that day?:

Let’s share our notes from the Community Summit

A handful of folks who regularly contribute to the Training Team attended the recent Community Summit. Anyone can read the official notes from each session on https://make.wordpress.org/summit/. With almost 30 sessions that took place, though, there is a lot of information to consume there.

Training Team reps discussed how it would be great if those who attended the Community Summit could share their observations and learnings that pertain specifically to the Training Team with the team. The goal is to highlight important information to Training Team members who were not at the summit, and may also not have the time to read through the different notes.

  • If you attended the Community Summit: Come leave a comment below with any observations you came home from the summit with that would pertain specifically to the Training Team.
  • If you did not attend the Community Summit: Follow this post from the button below to receive an email notification anytime someone comments.

Anyone is welcome to add questions or additional comments on what other people have written also. Thanks!
