Paths through the community
People take part in very different ways. These pages describe the common paths, by stage and by role, so you can see what the next step looks like from where you are.
Contents
Paths by stage
user -> contributor -> regular contributor -> maintainer of an area or extension
\ \
-> advocate / trainer -> partner (for companies)| Page | The step |
|---|---|
| From user to contributor | Your first contributions and how they become a habit |
| From contributor to maintainer | Taking responsibility for an extension or an area |
| From community to partner | When a company joins the Exponential Partner Program |
Paths by role
| Page | For |
|---|---|
| The community for editors | People who write and publish content |
| The community for developers | People who build sites, extensions and integrations |
| The community for designers and themers | People who design sites, themes and the administration |
| The community for hosts and agencies | Companies that run or build Exponential sites for others |
| The community for students and newcomers | People who are learning |
No path is required
Many people use Exponential for years and only ask a question now and then. That is taking part too. The paths are there for those who want more.
