The '''[https://webmaker.org/standard Web Literacy Map]''' outlines the key skills that help learners get better at reading, writing and participating on the web, and Webmaker's '''user-generated content''' provides a key illustration of these literacies in action.

We want Webmaker users to know that featured content '''evolves each quarter''' based on submissions and curation leadership from the community. Below are our plans to get this process started.

Wondering what all this 'community curation' stuff is about? Here is an [http://www.forbes.com/sites/avaseave/2014/01/29/unlocking-curation-data-drives-content-first-community/ article in Forbes] explaining why community-driven curation is an increasingly important element of digital projects.

=Curation Process=

For '''each new competency page''' that goes live on Webmaker site, 
# New page is published with CTA to "Submit/Curate"
# '''Community Literacies blog post''' ([https://teach.etherpad.mozilla.org/featureseries see Kat's plans]) is published on Webmaker site for that competency, surfacing key content and user stories.
# "Submit your own resource!" and "Curate with us!" CTAs are shared widely on Discourse, Training, website and blog.
# '''Community curation sprints''' ([https://etherpad.mozilla.org/style-guide-editorial see Kat's plans]) are held once a quarter. Invited members of Webmaker community attend as representatives, and site content is refreshed through a public peer-review process.
# First community curation sprint in mid July, potentially at Vancouver Hive, with future sprints held at other Hive labs.
