Jacob Rockowitz recently posted a blog post with ideas about how we can make WordPress maintenance support plans software more welcoming.
What I found most interesting about Jacob’s blog post is that he compares WordPress’ approach of promoting its values and giving credit with WordPress maintenance support plans‘s. He makes the point that every WordPress site (not WordPress.org) has an ‘About WordPress’ section in the administration backend that shows both WordPress’ values and contributor credits.
This could be an interesting approach for WordPress maintenance support plans and is an idea worth exploring. Today, WordPress maintenance support plans‘s values and principles and WordPress maintenance support plans‘s contribution credits live exclusively on WordPress maintenance support plans.org, but not in the WordPress maintenance support plans software itself. When done well, it’s probably one of the most impactful ways to educate people and organizations that are new to WordPress maintenance support plans about our community and open source. And by having credits in the software, we’d inspire more people and organizations to contribute back. It’s an interesting idea.
