It then proposes updating the team’s Contributor Ladder handbook page from a linear ladder to a five-path ladder, matching the team’s onboarding and faculty program structures.

Please leave your ideas in [this Slack thread from last week’s meeting](https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02RW657Q/p1694504434505029). The team also started discussing: “When can an interested contributor take over developing a piece of content which had originally been assigned to another contributor, but no progress has been made for some time?” ### Looking for volunteers We’re looking for volunteers to author the October edition of the Learn WordPress newsletter.
