Pathways Roadmap 2014 | |
| Owner: Pathways Team | Updated: 2014-02-19 | |
| Vision: The Pathways working group seeks to remove the barriers to contribution so that participation, however it is defined, is beautifully simple. | ||
Roadmap!
Contribution is our #1 metric
We work with new and current contributors. Define how pathways are built. Learn more about how we build their pathways to contribution.
What constitutes a contribution pathway?
- Targeting interest: through get involved, a regional group, or a specific product
- Maintaining interest: through systems that funnel from participant to contributor
- Following through on interest: developing mentorship and new opportunities that challenge and motivate contributors and participants
2014 Priorities
What are we SHIPPING to support these goals and bring in more people? What are contributors helping us build?
Priority 1
Core, foundational work that blocks other priorities
- What makes a strong pathway?
- What kinds of contributions can people make? How can we open the funnel?
- Working definition of a pathway that we can move forward with still needed?
- Review all the existing pathways (functional and regional) and see what needs to be done. Create a collaborative mechanism that can categorize and organize where people are coming from
- Go through current requests for pathways (other section of Contribute) complete 2/2014
- Understand how regional pathways can foster and nurture volunteers
- Initial refresh of "Get Involved" page
Priority 2
What we will tackle first.
- Define criteria for Contributor Management System 2/2014: Completed. See here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1o403WvYzoNYZ0mM-ciOLo0XFYaWAIC-3YriMvQ_q9qY/edit
- Collect and refine community builder requirements for a CMS that satisfies all stakeholders
- Make a plan for what we are going to offer for people who are building pathways. Work with recognition team to get this accomplished in MARCH 2014 Who is bottomlining this?
- Second refresh of "Get Involved" page to be more inclusive and organic for new contributors
- Develop, locate, and distribute resources linked into the contributor lifecycle.
Priority 3
- Communicate resource kit out so that people know what they can do
- Run metrics on new Get Involved page
