Marketing ideas for Contributions / Project Ideas
At WCEU 2015, we took 10-15 minutes to brainstorm some ways that we could contribute back to the Community and here are a few things we came up with:
- 1-page datasheet/flyer about WordPress features (we worked on this at WCUS!! Update soon)
- Information banners with infographics
- Comparison charts of different CMS
- 1-page summary of the WordPress ecosystem (or a map/graphic)
- Infographic about security? non-technical
- Benefits of open source
- Redesign features page
- Modular Landing page for presenting WordPress
- Redesign tag landing page tempate for .org Showcase with tag description/intro
- Country-specific landing pages (aka tag landing page) for .org Showcase
and a few more from my own thoughts / ideas over time:
- Get the open source presentation, started at WCEU 2014 and not complete, up on GitHub so others can hack on it (coming soon!)
- Request / solicit some of the existing WordPress white papers published be donated to public domain (like the Security white paper is) so others can translate and utilize.
- Collect case studies across the WP world for highlight organized by use case, industry, implementation.
- Encourage global communities to submit the top 5 most famous WP sites –> the .org Showcase.
- Insert links to case studies for any Showcase sites on .org back into those showcase pages.
Also a note to myself to write up some guidelines on how anyone can contribute existing materials –> .org marketing (i.e., preparing it for public domain licensing, etc.)
If you have an idea, feel free to leave it as a comment on this post so others can see your idea and it can potentially be worked on in the future.
