Expand for more information about each role 👀

• The content team lead is the chapter owner and responsible for setting the scope of the chapter and managing contributors' day-to-day progress.
• Authors 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 are also subject matter experts and assist authors with technical reviews during the planning, analyzing, and writing phases.
• Analysts 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 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 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 doc.

I'd like to propose a meet on Wed. 1st, @fellowhuman1101, @burakguneli and anyone else interested in joining, let me know (and some idea of timezone / suitable times)

I'll also add this in the Slack channel, probably a more appropriate place to coordinate the details.

[Burak Güneli]

Hi @dwsmart, I will be on a holiday trip on the first of May since it's a holiday in Germany. I would prefer to have that meeting any other day but if it is the only date that works for the team, I will do my best to arrange my schedule according to the time of the meeting :)

[Dave Smart]

@burakguneli, have you joined the slack channel? find details here

join the #web-almanac-page-weight and we can catch you up, really this is more for the Authors anyway, and happy to schedule another call when you're back around.

[Dave Smart]

@tomvangoethem, are you wanting to attend?
