Team Reps

Hello Polyglots! We’ve been working the past couple of months on communication between contributor groups to make WordPress a better community, and it’s time for your group to elect a couple of team reps to communicate on behalf of translators. We appointed Zé as the acting team repTeam Rep A Team Rep is a person who represents the Make WordPress team to the rest of the project, make sure issues are raised and addressed as needed, and coordinates cross-team efforts. for polyglots when we started, since he’s the person who seemed best able to fill the role until the next vote came around. Zé can continue on as team rep if elected, but you also need a 2nd rep.

These folks will be responsible for reporting on the progress of the group to the other team reps via weekly updates, as well as occasional chats and such. If you haven’t seen the spiel on one of the other team blogs about how team reps/voting/terms work, the longer explanation is after the jump.

Note: It should be folks who want the responsibility. Anyone interested in being a polyglots teamPolyglots Team Polyglots Team is a group of multilingual translators who work on translating plugins, themes, documentation, and front-facing marketing copy. https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/. rep should leave a comment saying as much so people know who they can/should vote for. Voting is open until December 15, and results will be posted here once voting closes.

Go vote!
