Piggybacking on other contributor efforts
- Coding pathway: How to make use of http://whatcanidoformozilla.org/ and collaborate with Coding Stewards
- Design pathway: Are there relevant CSS and web design contribution information to add to Design wiki page for design contributors?

Ben shared that in his conversation with cmore they wanted to have a contribution goal of fixing the scaling issues with connecting contributors to Bedrock opportunities. They didn't establish a numerical goal -- current estimates are there are around 10 webdev volunteers on Bedrock now. A big current bottleneck for Bedrock team is finding time to approve pull requests.

For increasing attendance, we've identified that there is a lot of interest in working together on a webdev contribution plan but attendance in this meeting is low lately. We made an action to reach out to people who have attended in the past and are interested (Luke, Ricky, Nigel B., Malexis, Sancus) and also to reach out to people outside of webdev who are interested in web development contributors (like rbillings from Web QA)

We reviewed Luke's analysis of web traffic on the webdev Get Involved page wiki. It's interesting information but we don't have enough data yet to figure out if fixing the wiki is the highest priority part of the webdev contribution pathway right now. We discussed talking to Pierros to see if we can get a webdev contribution dashboard prioritized so we'll get data about where the biggest hurdles are.

We also discussed roles for this group. Christie is joining the Community Building team and will be driving these meetings. Ben has agreed to be the Webdev Steward and work on a contribution plan for his team. We also discussed how everyone on the Bedrock team will have some sort of role to play and may be asked to work with us on workshops and other tasks as part of the plan. We felt that the Bedrock contribution plan would be relevant for other webdev teams, but we may want to have Bedrock specific conversations outside of this meeting and then share back to the wider group at relevant times.
