Draft criteria for a great contributors project proposal. Please revise mercilessly and add your own.
- Produce materials & results helpful to others
- start by enumerating how & where this will "give back" to the community/deployments
- Be clear about how this relates to / is different from related proposals
- Have a team and a contact person
- Have a plan and timeline
- Indicate past contact with developers, or potential supporting orgs
Rule of thumb: if children (or other recipients) aren't producing something they are immediately sharing with others (new content or code, testing, meaningful articles), CP isn't for them.
See the following templates related to Projects for review:
- Template:pfr - for tagging a page for review (use: {{pfr|pg=PageName}})
- Template:pfr2 - for the review itself (use: {{subst:pfr|pg=PageName|text=description}})
- Template:pfr3 - for logging the review (use: {{subst:pfr3|pg=PageName}})
Proposed template for requests for the contributors program
The Project Proposal Form for our new Contributors program has since moved. Thanks to everyone who helped polish it while it was here!
