- The **[content team lead](https://github.com/HTTPArchive/almanac.httparchive.org/wiki/Content-Team-Leads'-Guide)** is the chapter owner and responsible for setting the scope of the chapter and managing contributors' day-to-day progress. - **[Authors](https://github.com/HTTPArchive/almanac.httparchive.org/wiki/Authors'-Guide)** are subject matter experts and lead the content direction for each chapter. Chapters typically have one or two authors. Authors are responsible for planning the outline of the chapter, analyzing stats and trends, and writing the annual report. - **[Reviewers](https://github.com/HTTPArchive/almanac.httparchive.org/wiki/Reviewers'-Guide)** are also subject matter experts and assist authors with technical reviews during the planning, analyzing, and writing phases. - **[Analysts](https://github.com/HTTPArchive/almanac.httparchive.org/wiki/Analysts'-Guide)** are responsible for researching the stats and trends used throughout the Almanac. Analysts work closely with authors and reviewers during the planning phase to give direction on the types of stats that are possible from the dataset, and during the analyzing/writing phases to ensure that the stats are used correctly. - **[Editors](https://github.com/HTTPArchive/almanac.httparchive.org/wiki/Editors'-Guide)** are technical writers who have a penchant for both technical and non-technical content correctness. Editors have a mastery of the English language and work closely with authors to help wordsmith content and ensure that everything fits together as a cohesive unit. - The **[section coordinator](https://github.com/HTTPArchive/almanac.httparchive.org/wiki/Section-Leads'-Guide)** is the overall owner for all chapters within a section like "User Experience" or "Page Content" and helps to keep each chapter on schedule. _Note: The time commitment for each role varies by the chapter's scope and complexity as well as the number of contributors._ For an overview of how the roles work together at each phase of the project, see the [Chapter Lifecycle](https://github.com/HTTPArchive/almanac.httparchive.org/wiki/Chapter-Lifecycle) doc.

Great team here! We're still open to more contributors, so the call continues.

Hi @zubairshafiq, Thank you very much for volunteering to lead the writing of this chapter! Could you please organize a kick-off meeting for this chapter (example: https://github.com/HTTPArchive/almanac.httparchive.org/issues/3603#issuecomment-2064351177) to organize the writing of the chapter?

Furthermore, it would be helpful if you and all other contributors (@Yash-Vekaria, @ChrisBeeti , @ineriiavr) could join the Slack workspace of the HTTPArchive (https://join.slack.com/t/httparchive/shared_invite/zt-2hfkn28ts-~uXN4UGS0mXsKpzzhtZcow)

Hi @Yash-Vekaria, @ChrisBeeti, @turban1988, @neriiavr

Thanks for volunteering to contribute to the Third Parties chapter of the 2024 Web Alamnac. Three points:

To start off, let's schedule a kickoff meeting to settle on the content we want to have in the chapter. Please provide your availability here by this Friday, May 3: https://whenisgood.net/cneb587. Please be generous with your availability, as we have folks across several time zones.
Before the meeting, please take a look at the 2022 edition of the chapter to get a rough idea of the topics we will discuss: https://almanac.httparchive.org/en/2022/third-parties.
Please join the #web-almanac-third-parties Slack channel: https://httparchive.slack.com/archives/C01CRFV97K4

turban1988 commented 2 months ago

Sorry, the message somehow slipped through. I entered my availability.

zubairshafiq commented 2 months ago

Hi @turban1988 @Yash-Vekaria, we don't have any common availability. Can you folks make yourself available for more time slots? Also pinging @ChrisBeeti @neriiavr

turban1988 commented 2 months ago

I made more choices. Please keep in mind that due to the time shift, most of these times are not very well-placed (i.e., during the night).
