Expand for more information about each role đź‘€ - 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.

Happy to join as a reviewer.

Cherry commented 8 months ago

As a first time Web Almanac contributor, I’d be happy to join this chapter as an editor.

dotjay commented 8 months ago

I’m interested in contributing as a reviewer.

rvth commented 8 months ago

I'm interested in being a reviewer or editor or potentially an analyst :)

thibaudcolas commented 7 months ago

I’d like to join this year as author and analyst like in 2022. Possibly also content lead.

I was personally very happy with the 2022 chapter’s approach to content, could do a re-run of that, though if someone else comes forward with a more ambitious vision I’d be happy too. One thing that’s new that I’d be interesting in trying out is to report on the accessibility issues found with different technologies, in the spirit of things like cwvtech.report.

thibaudcolas commented 7 months ago

đź‘‹ checking in to see who would be up for a coordination meeting next week? I have a bit of time this weekend to get back up to speed with HTTP Almanac methodologies and start planning a bit more.

If you know anyone else who might be interested in contributing to this, now is a great time to reach out. It’ll be important to confirm our team size & expertise so we adjust our goals accordingly.

If you haven’t already, consider joining the HTTP Archive Slack workspace, where there are channels for each of the chapters as well as each of the roles.

mgifford commented 7 months ago

I'd be happy to be part of a coordinating meeting. I'm curious what we can pull out of this data and what we might be able to do to advance it further than previous years.

nrllh commented 7 months ago

Given the content team's next deadline on May 1, it might be prudent to schedule a meeting close to this date, especially in anticipation of new contributors potentially joining in the coming days.

mraccess77 commented 7 months ago

I have time to contribute and I'm offering to be a co-author of the accessibility chapter.

nrllh commented 7 months ago

Great to see you, @mraccess77!

thibaudcolas commented 7 months ago

Here’s an initial shared Google Docs for us to start work on the chapter – Accessibility (Web Almanac 2024). For people intending to contribute this year, please follow the instructions in there to request edit access.

At this stage there are two sections we need to refine in short order:

Given our limited team size, my assumption here is that we’re starting from the baseline of past years and deciding what to add or tweak.

For anyone who wants to contribute and hasn’t already done so, please join the HTTP Archive Slack workspace so we can coordinate further actions / meeting times (or let us know here if you want to participate but Slack doesn’t work for you).

mgifford commented 2 months ago

I had planned to help mostly with editing for Sustainability and help out here if needed.  

I'm not exactly sure where things are right now for this chapter, though. There's not a lot of traffic on Slack.

I've updated most of the queries for 2024 though, so will be able to have data to show folks. 

What I don't know though is who is leading the editorial process?

What I think folks said they were interested in

shantsis commented 2 months ago

Pinging @thibaudcolas to see if we can get this chapter back on track. First draft by authors (@thibaudcolas, @jcmpagel, @mraccess77, @mgifford) is fast approaching. I don't believe this doc is at a good enough state for review yet.

mgifford commented 2 months ago

The document definitely needs work. Thanks @shantsis ! 

Also pinging
@Cherry @rvth @nrllh @dotjay @tomvangoethem 

You can find the first draft at the bottom of the document:

Note that we are not limited to the people who raised their hands on this in the spring. Still room for new folks to step up.

rvth commented 2 weeks ago

let me know if any more support is needed on this!

tunetheweb commented 2 weeks ago
