Q: Are there clearly understood steps someone can follow to go from knowing nothing about your project to successfully contributing? | Q: Are there clearly understood steps someone can follow to go from knowing nothing about your project to successfully contributing? | ||
A: | A: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Localization_Quick_Start_Guide This wiki page] is meant to accomplish just that. It outlines a technical, task-oriented workflow for anyone interested in getting involved to follow. Unfortunately, it can be a bit daunting due to the large amount of information that a new contributor needs to know in order to get involved. I think we could improve in working to simplify the introdctory process. Ultimately, that's what we hope this new guide will help to accomplish. In addition, the World Ready program Stas has recently launched is meant identify potential mentors. As this program progresses we'll find points in the process in which to add a mentor for individual contributors. Currently, Arky is filling the mentor role for new contributors who are starting an entirely new localization. | ||
Suggestion: In addition to just documenting these steps, look for a simple 5-minute task that someone can take to get started (for example, signing up for Bugzilla if they are interested in coding) and also figure out where in the process you can add a mentor to help people. | Suggestion: In addition to just documenting these steps, look for a simple 5-minute task that someone can take to get started (for example, signing up for Bugzilla if they are interested in coding) and also figure out where in the process you can add a mentor to help people. | ||

Q: Can you measure participation or contributors today? If so, what metrics can you track? What goal or metric would you like to achieve for Q1? Alternatively, what metrics would you like to get in place for Q1? | Q: Can you measure participation or contributors today? If so, what metrics can you track?

A: | A: Right now we have multiple dashboards for tracking each localization team's progress on a per project basis. | ||
Suggestion: Write down what you think would be helpful to track even if it isn't possible to get that data today. We'll work on implementing dashboards when we know what data we want. | Suggestion: Write down what you think would be helpful to track even if it isn't possible to get that data today.
