We are looking for proposals to improve the Core Contributor (CC) onboarding experience. The aim is to address current gaps and refine the process to create a more comprehensive, clear, and user-friendly onboarding experience.

titleWhat are our current challenges?
  1. Documentation Accessibility: New Core Contributors struggle to locate information pertinent to their role.

  2. Content Quality: Users would like the format and quality of onboarding content to improved so it better engages and informs new members.

  3. Information Clarification: Core Contributors need more in-depth explanations on several topics, including:

    • Role definitions

    • Effective use of communication channels

    • Links to relevant documents and working groups

    • Operation of Core Contributor Sprints

  4. Call to Action: There’s a need for clearer guidance on the steps to take after onboarding, helping new Core Contributors understand how to actively participate and integrate into the community.

  5. Information Overload: New Core Contributors feel overwhelmed by the multiple locations that information is stored (e.g. forum, wiki) making it challenging to discover necessary documentation.

  6. Community Reliance: New Core Contributors often rely on the community for answers instead of utilizing the existing materials, indicating a need for more effective and accessible resources.
