The Teams
To help you grasp the focus of the different Make WordPress teams we have made a small summary for you:
Core
The core team makes WordPress. Whether you’re a seasoned PHP, HTML, JavaScript, or CSS developer or are just learning to code, we’d love to have you on board. You can write code, fix bugs, debate decisions, and help with development.
Documentation
Good documentation lets people help themselves when they get stuck. The docs team is responsible for creating documentation and is always on the look-out for writers. The team blog has discussion around the team’s current projects.
Meta
The Meta team makes WordPress.org, provides support, and builds tools for use by all the contributor groups. If you want to help make WordPress.org better, sign up for updates from the Meta blog.
Plugins
If you are a Plugin developer, subscribe to the Plugin review team blog to keep up with the latest updates, find resources, and learn about any issues around Plugin development.
Polyglots
WordPress is used all over the world and in many different languages. If you’re a polyglot, help out by translating WordPress into your own language. You can also assist with creating the tools that make translations easier.
Support
Answering a question in the support forums or IRC is one of the easiest ways to start contributing. Everyone knows the answer to something! This team and it’s blog are the place for discussion of issues around support.
Themes
The Theme Review Team reviews and approves every Theme submitted to the WordPress Theme repository. Reviewing Themes sharpens your own Theme development skills. You can help out and join the discussion on the blog.
Training
The WordPress training team helps people learn to use, extend, and contribute to WordPress through synchronous and asynchronous learning as well as downloadable lesson plans for instructors to use in live environments, via learn.wordpress.org. If you enjoy teaching people how to use and build stuff for WordPress, immediately stop what you’re doing and join our team!
Photos
The Photo Directory team moderates every photo submitted to the WordPress Photo Directory, maintains and improves the directory site itself, and provides resources and documentation to educate, encourage, and facilitate photo contributors.
Patterns
We’ll create some beautiful patterns and submit in the WordPress patterns repository. Users can simply copy and paste those patterns in their site. Let’s contribute some patterns.
Still Confused?
The Contributor Day is NOT a day dedicated to gurus and experienced community members. Even if you are new in WordPress, you can contribute. We want you to be there and see how to contribute in the above listed teams. Actually, it is a great opportunity to get to understand the idea of contributing firsthand and network with other contributors. We’ll have each table leads who will guide you on how to start contributing in WordPress.
If you feel like contributing just come, and we will take care of the rest!
