=Contributor Conversion Points= | |||
In 2012, community builders decided upon a set of "conversion points" (or levels of participation) [[Contribute/Conversion_points|'''''(found here)''''']] to provide information about the contributor lifecycle for the [http://www.arewegrowingyet.com Grow Mozilla dashboard]. See [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736109 bug 736109] for details about implementing this and see [http://davidwboswell.wordpress.com/2012/05/03/creating-a-superstar-radar/ The SuperStar Radar] blog post for information about why this is helpful for community building. | In 2012, community builders decided upon a set of "conversion points" (or levels of participation) [[Contribute/Conversion_points|'''''(found here)''''']] to provide information about the contributor lifecycle for the [http://www.arewegrowingyet.com Grow Mozilla dashboard].

Knowing the capacity of a pathway helps us provide support through programs and guides that are appropriate to their current situation. | Capacity is a measure of the community building potential of pathways.
