Steering group

The Drupal Ladder project is open to contributions and collaboration from anyone. To help coordinate and mentor contributor's activity, the folks who were most active on the project have formed a steering group that will meet consistently each week to report on progress and keep the momentum going. The steering group helps distribute effort in 5 main areas, with mentors assigned to each area.

  • The distribution
  • Ladders and lessons
  • Learning sprints
  • Issue sprints
  • Integration with community knowledge-sharing initiatives

More information about the steering group coming soon. You can talk to the group at http://groups.drupal.org/drupal-ladder
