For each application that comes in, we check if the applicant would make a good representative of the WordPress community and the Five Good Faith rules. If it’s an event application, we also check the health and activity of that community to see if it can support an event.
We are always working to improve our documentation. If you see something that needs to be updated, you are invited to make the necessary changes. Once updated, inform the other Community Team members in the #community-team SlackSlackSlack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/. channel.
We will also be updating the documentation due to the new role names. For this, there will be an added step of recording some basic information on a spreadsheet so our developers can create the necessary redirects.
Another improvement we are working on is group orientations. You will be able to select times you are available and set them up in Calendly. Then the community will be able to schedule orientations with you. Each orientation type will have written instructions and an orientation script you can use.
If you end up with more tasks than you have time for, or your availability changes, please let us know right away. We will work with you to make adjustments.
