Website WG Membership / Collaborator Establishment

[bnb]

This is an issue a la #4 (comment). If you want to be a member or collaborator in the Website WG...

• via grandfathering from the old iojs/website WG repo
• via official Joyent/Node Foundation role
• via Node Foundation membership

... make it known here, and you will be appropriately added to the WG. (or directly add yourself in #14)

If you want to join, but are not a member of one of these groups, you should see the (in-progress) GOVERNANCE.md - namely:

Individuals making significant and valuable contributions are made Collaborators and given commit-access to the project. These individuals are identified by the WG and their addition as Collaborators is discussed during the weekly WG meeting.

Note: If you make a significant contribution and are not considered for commit-access log an issue or contact a WG member directly and it will be brought up in the next WG meeting.

It is known. ;)

As names are added here are you going to keep adding to a parallel PR? I expected there just just to be an "ongoing" PR-issue we could all just pull/add our names to. (I can set this up? I just wasn't able to when I suggested it.)

[bnb]

@snostorm That sounds excellent. If you can't set it up, I'll be able to figure out a way to do it.

[snostorm]

See #14. To contribute just pull the README-adds-wg-collaborator branch and then push back up.

I'd like to become a WG member as well (also for io.js) … is there an official "process"? (There were no WG meetings in the last few weeks, also nodejs/iojs.org#203 shows no recent activity)

[mikeal]

We should adopt and improve the liberal contributor agreement core has so that anyone contributing becomes a member of the WG.

[robertkowalski]

@fhemberger I think you are a member if you add yourself to the README.md - you are also owner of this repo, you just need to push your commit

@mikeal +1 sounds great!

[fhemberger]

@robertkowalski I know that I'm able to just go ahead and do it, but it would feel like giving myself a promotion. That's why I asked before.

[robertkowalski]

oh, i thought we were all wg members? are there differences? which?

[fhemberger]

On the io.js website repo we had two different "roles" so far: contributors and WG members. The first one you get (obviously) after some contribution to the project to encourage shared code responsibility. The latter is more about long term commitment and getting actively involved in decision making regarding the project's course. But the lines between those two are blurred. (I hope I summed this up correctly).

[mikeal]

Maybe we could come up with a way for the WG to essentially contain "current active contributors" to make it easy to shuffle people out of the meetings who get caught up in other work and easily bring in the people who are more actively contributing.

[fhemberger]

@mikeal Can you please add @phillipj to the contributors?

[mikeal]

@fhemberger added, and I made you a team maintainer.

[fhemberger]

@mikeal Cool, thanks.

[phillipj]

Oooh appreciate it, thanks! 👯

[mikeal]

Everyone is merged in now AFAIK.
