This document will help encourage community engagement and participation by providing clear pathways for members to get involved and progress in their contributions.

The Contribution Ladder document should include the following information:

  1. Introduction: A brief overview of the document and its purpose.
  2. Levels of Contribution: A list of the different levels of contribution, starting with the most basic and progressing to the most advanced. Each level should have a clear and concise name, such as "Newcomer," "Active Contributor," "Leader," etc.
  3. Description of each level: A detailed description of what is expected of community members at each level, including the types of contributions that are required and the time commitment involved.
  4. Benefits and Recognition: A list of the benefits and recognition that community members will receive at each level, such as badges, special privileges, access to private channels, etc.
  5. Examples: Examples of real-life contributions that would qualify a community member for each level.
  6. Next Steps: A clear call-to-action for community members who are ready to move to the next level, including resources and guidance on how to do so.
  7. Contact Information: Contact information for the community manager or other designated point of contact for questions or support.

This document will be a living document, and will be updated regularly as new levels and benefits are added. It will be easily accessible to all community members, and will be promoted regularly to encourage engagement and participation.
